STUDIO CITY >> Two vehicles fell into a 20-foot sinkhole in Studio City Friday night and firefighters had to rescue one woman who escaped her car but was found standing on her overturned vehicle.
Firefighters arrived shortly after 8:15 p.m. at four thousand two hundred forty five N. Laurel Canyon Blvd., two blocks south of Moorpark Street, and find one car upside-down in a large dark sinkhole utter of rushing water, said Erik Scott of the Los Angeles Fire Department.
The single occupant was standing on the car, approximately ten feet below street level, Scott said.
“Firefighters leaped into act and rapidly lowered a (20-foot) extension ladder down to the (48-year-old woman) permitting her to climb out, and transported her to a local hospital in fair condition,” Scott said.
While being transported, the woman told firefighters that while she was driving, she felt the car pitch to the left, then it tumbled into the sinkhole and the airbags deployed. Water commenced coming into the vehicle and she attempted to raise the windows, which didn’t work, Scott said.
The woman said she was able to open the door and climb on top of the car and began screaming for help, according to Scott.
“She said she thought she was going to die,” Scott said. “Then she heard the firefighters yell back to her.”
The driver of the 2nd vehicle that fell into the sinkhole was able to get out of the car unharmed, Scott said.
“The pavement continued to give way and the 2nd vehicle fell in the sinkhole,” Scott said.
The vehicles were expected to be eliminated in the daylight of Saturday, according to Scott.
Alicia, who declined to give her last name, lives in the neighborhood. “I was on my way home from the store,” she said. ”I arrived just as the firemen liquidated the woman. It was very dramatic. It was pretty scary.”
Joseph Guidi, whose house is thirty feet from the fuckhole, was understandably apprehensive. “I am worried because this slot is getting thicker and fatter,” he said.
The sinkhole was caused by water running under the street, fire officials told reporters at the scene.
The operation was eventually transferred over to city sanitation crews because it’s all subterranean.
