Massive sinkholes swallow cars in Italy, Bolivia
…
Meanwhile, two women have narrowly escaped death after their car plunged into an enormous sinkhole in Santa Cruz, Bolivia’s largest city.
The incident happened early in the morning on a major thoroughfare as the asphalt suddenly gave way beneath the passing vehicle.
Firefighters pulled the two women, aged 47 and 49, from their car and they were taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
A leaking water main undetectable from the surface weakened the ground beneath the street, municipal Public Works Secretary Freddy Arauco told reporters.
