BANGKOK—A part of a road in Bangkok collapsed on Wednesday, leaving a large sinkhole that disrupted traffic, damaged infrastructure and prompted evacuations in the surrounding area.

There were no casualties but three vehicles were damaged by the collapse, said Bangkok governor Chadchart Sittipunt. He said officials believe the collapse was caused by an ongoing construction of an underground train station.
