A reserve deputy is dead and another person is injured after a massive sinkhole in Texas swallowed two cars on Sunday night. The Bexar County Sheriff's Office in San Antonio identified officer killed as seven-year veteran Dora Linda Nishihara. When authorities arrived to the scene, they found a broken 54-inch pipe and a pit measuring 10- to 20-feet deep that stretched the entire width of the road. Officials still don't know what caused the pipe to rupture. Nishihara's vehicle was 90 percent submerged in the water about 12-feet deep.
