A stunning optical illusion in a tunnel in the USA puzzled the driver so much that he was simply afraid to go further.

What should you do if you are driving through a tunnel and suddenly see a big chasm in front of you? It may seem unlikely, but one driver experienced stress while driving his car through an underpass in the USA and came across something resembling a huge sinkhole on the road.

Footage of the spectacle, which has since gone viral on social media, shows other vehicles approaching the apparent hole and either slowing down or stopping.

"It's just a pit," the driver can be heard saying on the video. "They don't have a fence, what's blocked here or something like that?"

However, it is only when another car passes by that it turns out that what disappeared on the side of the road is actually nothing more than an ordinary puddle.

The reflection on the surface of the water showed that there was a big hole.

You can watch the video below, but be warned that it contains profanity.
