A scooter rider was injured as a minivan crashed into an elevated manhole cover in southern China.

The CCTV footage was filmed in Guangzhou City in Guangdong Province on November 16.

A minivan collided with a protruding manhole cover on a road, causing the rear of the vehicle to crash into a passing scooter.

A staff member from the Aigang Village committee reported that the male cyclist was injured but not in life-threatening condition. He suffered a lumbar spine fracture, slight lung contusions, and partial bone fractures in his foot.

The incident occurred on a road undergoing upgrades and renovations. As part of the construction work, the road was being repaved with asphalt. During this process, the manhole cover was left slightly protruding, leading to the accident.

During daylight hours, traffic control personnel were present to guide vehicles and warn them of the hazard. However, the accident occurred due to the construction team's negligence in failing to establish adequate safety signage at night.

The construction company involved has acknowledged their oversight and is actively coordinating with the parties involved, expressing willingness to provide appropriate compensation for the damages caused.

11月16日凌晨一点多，广东广州白云区人和镇矮岗村，一辆面包车撞上路面翘起的井盖，车尾砸向一旁经过的电动车。
矮岗村村委会一名工作人员回应称，骑车男子受伤，但没有生命之忧。腰椎骨折，肺部有一点挫伤，脚有部分骨裂的情况。事发道路是在升级改造的一条路，施工方要铺沥青地面，处理地面的时候，井盖会突出来一点，面包车通过时压到了井盖上，井盖翘了起来绊住了车辆。白天有人在这里疏导交通，提醒大家避让。事故是因施工方大意没有树立安全标识造成的，目前施工单位已经在积极对接，表示愿意做出相应的赔偿。
