That so Sweet of her! I am 67 and disabled I would be absolutely terrified if something like that happend to me. I am so glad they both were not severely injured!
If you see water bubbling up through the pavement, call the water department emergency line. I did years ago and they about shit a brick, they had a loader digging up 20 mins later and i called at like 1am!
getting out of the car in that situation, I'd be terrified of the water pulling me down and then under the road to drown, I'd have to climb up to the back of the car and jump to the pavement.
I live here in Vancouver Washington when I saw this yesterday and thought “We haven't had that much rain” but seeing this on KGW the first thing I thought of was a water main we have been below-freezing for over a week
I remember a few years back, there was street construction near Winco in Beaverton & half the right side of the road on Cedar Hills Blvd was dug out - right next to the Jack In The Box (2920 SW Cedar Hills Blvd). The traffic crew had put cones along the road, but they hadn’t put them close enough together so it looked like one could enter the Jack In The Box driveway if they drove straight - well a car drove straight through that intersection & straight into that large ditch dug into the road, I saw half of it disappear into the ground!

Yeah, except it looks like a regular puddle in the middle of the road that just about all of the roads are covered in when wet. You'd never know it was 10 feet deep when it looks like all of the other 1/4" deep puddles, especially at night.
Read the title, I figured BC until I saw KGW. Yikes! With all the moisture we're used to flash floods, trees coming down, mudslides, rust and cars green with mossy fungus. (Same as British Columbia. The Pacific NW is a temperate rainforest.). Sinkholes happen someplace else.
This is why they said not to drive thru standing water bc you don't know if the road below has been washed aways. If this was where I'm at.. the hole would have stayed there and at least 2-3 other cars would have needed to be rescued before they filled it in.
@@lovelight6973 if you mean the three young people who died, that is not true. The line was dropped on top of their car when a tree branch broke and fell on them .... Of course there could have been other cars dodging lines. Ive driven around downed lines before. Three times in fact. The kids that lost life were scared and did not know to stay in the car. Not crazy. Very sad.
@@johngaller278 no not the family. That was just such a tragedy. No before that happened there were some people reporter said they saw people driving over the power lines.
Good thing that sink hole wasn’t wider. Since it happened at night it would be terrifying being in the water knowing that being in the wrong spot could suck you down in it.
It’s not that funny I think she was fortunate to make it out, one of the first things my dad taught me was you don’t drive through standing water ever unless you know for a fact how deep it is
@@codymoe4986 only reason I commented is a grandma we knew tried to drive her grand daughter through standing water and though this wouldn’t happen here, a flash flood came down and grandma threw her granddaughter out the door and car was carried away and buried in mud, she didn’t survive but her granddaughter did, this gal was lucky the sinkhole wasn’t deeper or she would’ve died, imo she shouldn’t have tried to cross period
These people are so clueless. It’s not a sinkhole. My first thought was broken water pipe. Even the cops were clueless. We get broken water pipes/mains ever winter. Most of the pipes are over 100 years old. The water company has been working on replacing them for years/decades.
That so Sweet of her! I am 67 and disabled I would be absolutely terrified if something like that happend to me.
I am so glad they both were not severely injured!
I love that she said she was happy that it happened to them and not an older person! Wow!! Selfless and profound!! May God bless this couple!!❤
That's why I love White people. They build the best societies.
What a nice young woman! "I'm so glad that it happened to us and not an older person". She and her boyfriend are amazing!

I have a phobia about edges--bridge edges, cliff edges, freight elevators. Going over the edge and under. Now I gotta worry about sinkholes, too.
Can't imagine this getting repaired so fast over here in Portland, I'm impressed!
For sure. Vancouver fixes their roads and infrastructure way better. Portlands like "that can wait."
Man those pot holes are getting bad! 🙂

Thank you for sharing with us!
Never drive through cones if your not sure
Wow, kudos to the Vancouver water department workers, getting that sink hole filled and the water pipe repaired so quickly.
That repair was fast….
.... no need to dig! 🤭
That's not a sink hole, that was a burst pipe causing erosion and the subsidence of the road.
Erosion and subsidence is literally the definition of a sinkhole, no matter what caused it.

You lived to tell the story, never drive through water
Yeah, except it looks like a regular puddle in the middle of the road that just about all of the roads are covered in when wet. You'd never know it was 10 feet deep when it looks like all of the other 1/4" deep puddles, especially at night.
What if you're going through a car wash?

Yeah I'm here in Vancouver Washington and I always put Washington State otherwise people will think Vancouver BC or Washington DC
Don’t think of it as a sinkhole. Think of it as a feature for the neighborhood
people never learn about deep water hazards.

At first, I thought it was the Toronto Maple Leafs Core 4 sinking until they said it was the US Vancouver. 😉😄😄😄
We ALL could have guessed what would happen next 😬 thats ehy we dont drive into standing water when you dont know how deep!
Just curious, would y'all drive though water that shouldn't be there? I would not. But it seems like most people would.
Well some people were driving through down power lines in Portland last week. Crazy.

Glad I decided not to drive that street today. Glad they’re ok
That's definitely a WTF moment.
Did mythbusters save another life?
driving has the same rules as any role-playing game... NEVER go in the water.
Thank you modern society
Never drive through a flooded street. Never. She seems like a selfless person by saying she’s glad it was thrm and not an “older” person.
New fear unlocked. Too close to home.
I’m glad they could laugh about it 😢
Sinkhole or Texas pothole?
Damn that's nasty, at least they are safe !! The hole is filled , ok , will another open up? I'm staying away from that street !!
It’s not that funny I think she was fortunate to make it out, one of the first things my dad taught me was you don’t drive through standing water ever unless you know for a fact how deep it is
Maybe she should have gotten out and tried to walk across?

Correction: Their Fiat fell into a sinkhole
Man their making swiss cheese of the underground...
Just moved hear from LA. So cheap living hear. But never seen dis. Crazy dawg. Stay safy out there.
Is this the real life .. is it just fantasy
Glad your safe. Go WA!
I would have panicked too
broken water main. Nothing to see so stop driving down the 30th St. please. You're only making the it worse.
Wow! 😳
THe roads here in vantucky are so poorly maintained.
Taxes pay for it. Would you like to pay multitudes more of those?
She cant park there.
Hahahah one reason you should never drive through water
Oh my god ❤
Land of the lost, but during the archean eon
Hold ur breath and mash the gas pedal…JK
YIKES !!!
Wow
😮
Driving a 4 wheel drive won’t help stupidity
She wasn’t doing anything stupid, just driving down a city street.
It's after dark with poor visibility, they had just turned a corner.
. that looks like a broken water main. dunno why a cop has never seen that before, every civil worker has seen this.
“TUNNELS”? UNDER VANBEARIA? Oh yes, there’s a whole nother world on the other side of the grass down there. Most are friendly. 0:47
🤣
I bet they aim for high water. As they say, turn around, don’t drown.
Chappelle's to the rescue..

That was a sinkhole. The ground gave way...
