From Railroad.Net:
They were boring a tunnel underneath. Due to heavy water flux there was a landslide inside the tunnel construction site, which collapsed the surface above.

The whole section where the tunnel crosses the existing line was under permanent surveillance using a laser grid for exactly that kind of thing, hence preventing any accidents
