Colorado Driver Escapes Before Sinkhole Swallows Her SUV

A massive sinkhole opened up and swallowed a Toyota RAV4 SUV on Oxford Avenue in Sheridan Tuesday evening. Sheridan police tweeted that the driver was OK and shared a photo showing the vehicle submerged in water 15 feet down. The sinkhole occurred on Oxford Avenue at the intersection of Natches Court amid a drenching thunderstorm. Police say the rain impacted a pipe below the pavement which gave way. Witness Tye Adams grabbed his phone and took video just as the SUV began to sink. “I’ve never seen anything like it," Adams told Denver7. "I didn’t think I would go to work one day and see a car fall into the ground like that. It’s pretty absurd. $40,000 down the drain literally, you know what I mean?"
