SUV Swallowed By Sinkhole After Crashing Through Hydrant In Southern California

Crews are working to fix a sinkhole that opened up following a crash in front of a Downey home Saturday night. The crash occurred about 10:15 p.m. when an SUV struck a power pole and sheared a fire hydrant on Rives Avenue near Brunache Street. Authorities later said the driver had swerved to avoid another vehicle and was not under the influence of drugs or alcohol at the time of the crash. Video from the scene showed part of the pole, which had been broken in two, was suspended by power lines above the street.
