OMAHA, Neb. — Stunning new video shows bystanders rushing to help drivers who had just been swallowed by a sinkhole in Nebraska.
Omaha police shared the video captured by a traffic camera at 67th Street and Pacific Street.
The video shows two vehicles pulling up to a red light, and suddenly both cars fall into a sinkhole.
Some cars missed falling in by just a couple of feet.
“Thank you so much to those who pitched in! You took the initiative to assist fellow Omahans,” police said.
It was not clear if any injuries were reported.
Omaha Public Works indicates on its website that the sinkhole was the result of a water main break. Metropolitan Utilities District, which operates the city’s water system, did not immediately return phone and email messages Wednesday seeking comment.
