Sinkhole Opens on Omaha Street, Traps Two Vehicles
Two drivers escaped injury when a sinkhole opened beneath their vehicles at a busy Omaha intersection on Tuesday afternoon.

A sinkhole opened on a busy intersection in south-central Omaha, Nebraska on Tuesday afternoon, trapping two vehicles that were waiting at a traffic light.
Surveillance video captured the moment when a sport utility vehicle and pickup truck dropped into a hole several feet deep as the pavement beneath them suddenly gave way. The incident occurred at the intersection during afternoon hours in what local media described as a trendy section of the midwestern city.
Both drivers emerged from the incident without injuries, according to police reports. The drivers were able to exit their vehicles safely despite being trapped in the sinkhole.
Witnesses at the scene immediately responded to help the trapped motorists reach safety, while others directed traffic around the damaged intersection, police said. The quick response from bystanders helped ensure no one was harmed during the incident.
Authorities have not yet released information about what caused the pavement to collapse or provided details about when the intersection might reopen to normal traffic.
