| A Car and its Passenger is visible in sinkhole as fire fighters pour water over it |
TOLEDO: The sinkhole tragedies are not new in America, this is one of its kind, as a sinkhole quickly opened up in between road and swallowed a car and its 60 old passenger.
Recent heavy rains would have caused the sinkhole to open up under the street said the fire department Lieutenant Tom Kuhman.
“She saw the car in front of her kind of almost go in but her car, being already in motion, was unable to avoid it,” he said.
He described the hole at least 8 feet deep “and quite large,”.
A fire fighting ladder was used to help the woman climbed out as she was unhurt, reported the Fire Lieutenant.
