Car swallowed by sinkhole in England
- 10 years ago
A girl goes into panic mode after discovering her car was swallowed by a sinkhole - right outside of her family's home.
On the very same driveway, her parents Liz and Phil Conran spoke to reporters:
(SOUNDBITE) (English) MOTHER, LIZ CONRAN, SAYING:
"Yeah we were woken by a blood-curdling scream on Sunday morning and our daughter Zoe, who normally goes out and turns her horse out in the morning, was standing in the kitchen in absolute hysterics having realised that her car had disappeared into a hole. She thought at first that it had been stolen and went round and looked out of another window and realised that actually it had gone into the ground and she couldn't cope with it so we simply sorted her out and didn't really think too much about the bigger picture at that time."
Luckily, no one was injured in this out-of-the-blue accident.
(SOUNDBITE) (English) JOURNALIST: "Were there any clues to this? That you had a huge hole on your drive?"
