A man was injured on July 31 after he fell on a pavement that collapsed in the crossing of Baiyunlu Street and Chang'an Street in Beijing's Xicheng district, the district's governmental micro blog said.

As the man was walking on the street, the pavement suddenly collapsed at about 4 pm. The micro blog published the information two hours after the accident.

The man was sent to a nearby hospital for further medical checks.

A preliminary investigation revealed that the pavement caved in after workers repaired underground electricity tubes in the area, the micro blog said.
