A New Hampshire highway caved in and collapsed Sunday due to high water levels after floods hit the northeastern United States.

Flash flooding caused by heavy rains caused East Washington Road, located in the town of Hillsboro, to collapse dramatically.

The video, captured by local resident Isaac Bailey, shows a torrent of water invading the roadway, causing it to cave in and split before those present, leaving them stunned. 

Following the collapse, the New Hampshire Department of Transportation closed all lanes of East Washington Road between Center Road and Robbins Road.

Warnings for heavy rain and "significant flash flooding" were issued Sunday for parts of New York and New England, including New Hampshire.
