A truck heaving with construction rubble proved to be a load too far for a poorly-built road in St Paul's Bay on Tuesday afternoon. 

Part of Triq Stella Maris caved in as the truck was making its way up to the Triq San Pawl intersection, with one of the truck's rear wheels ending up caught inside the collapsed asphalt. 

The Civil Protection Department was called to the site, which was cordoned off by police.
