Timothy Stone tells the Evansville Courier & Press that he, his girlfriend and two children had stopped at a stop sign on Friday afternoon when their car “felt weird” and started to sink.

The four of them managed to climb to safety from the vehicle’s passenger side before its front end sank into the hole in Evansville. No one was injured.

Two wreckers eventually pulled the car from the sinkhole, which a police report described as 12 feet in diameter and 16 feet deep. More info
