Authorities using drone cameras have yet to ascertain if the missing driver is inside the cabin.

A truck cabin that was swallowed by a sinkhole in Japan two weeks ago has been located in a nearby sewer pipe, authorities say.

Drone images suggest that a human body is inside the cabin, but it is unclear if it is that of the truck’s missing 74-year-old driver.

The sinkhole, which now measures 40m (131ft) in diameter, opened at a road intersection in Yashio city near Tokyo. It is believed to be caused by a sewer rupture.

Search teams are unable to enter the 5m-wide pipe due to continuous water flow and high levels of hydrogen sulfide or sewer gas, officials said.

    I understand not wanting to make predictions about who it is, but come on who else could it be?

    Also its wild that it took two weeks to find the truck after falling into a sinkhole inside a city.
