Eight people are reported missing in Brazil's city of Sao Paulo after a hole being dug for a new subway station collapsed leaving an enormous crater.

Emergency services are trying to reach passengers from a minibus that fell into the 30m (100ft) deep hole in the city's central district of Pinheiros.

Rescuers are trying to locate the vehicle, but fears of a further collapse are hampering efforts.

An investigation has been launched into the incident.
