This is a perfectly natural occurrence, not one usually noticed by man though. The river has gone underground, most likely caused by the recent flooding there. Huge amounts of water going down the river during the flooding eroded the underlying soil strata and opened up a tunnel under the river, the above soil became so thin that eventually it just gave way and all the water just started pouring beneath the old layer of strata.
Geologically, this happens ever so often.
It is related to one of the same things that causes sinkholes.
