Someone clearly forgot to tell the driver of this snow plow about the gaping hole on the top floor of a multi-storey car park.

The truck, loaded with two tons of gravel, was clearing snow from the top deck of the car park in Calhoun, Georgia, when it suddenly disappeared down the hole.

Unbeknownst to the driver, the pile of accumulated snow was covering a sizeable gap in the concrete, causing the truck to fall on to its side before slipping backwards into the hole.

The driver was not hurt in the accident, but the truck had to be pulled clear from the hole using a crane.

No one else was on the top floor of the car park at the time, but a motorist does rush to the truck after it fell through the gap.

Gordon County administrator Randy Dowling said the county received a report last month that the car park, which was built in the mid-1980s, was structurally sound and that the support beams did not collapse during the incident.
