Omaha Street Suddenly Collapses, Swallows Cars In Seconds

  • A silver Ram and a red Jeep dropped through the road at a red light.
  • Authorities say an underground water leak likely caused the sinkhole.
  • A major water main burst when the two vehicles crashed down.

Few driving scenarios are more unsettling than the road vanishing without so much as a warning sign. That is exactly what happened earlier this week in Omaha, Nebraska, where two motorists were sitting at an intersection when a sinkhole suddenly opened beneath them.

Security camera footage from the nearby University of Nebraska-Omaha shows a silver Ram pickup and a dark red Jeep stopped at a red light when, without any visible warning, the earth opens up beneath them.
