[Photos] Ground Opens, Swallows 3 Cars In Chicago

 Its all unexpectedly happened on a Thursday morning when a sinkhole opened up on a residential street in Chicago’s southeast side, swallowing three cars. And sadly one driver was injured in the process.

Witnesses told the Tribune that the hole appeared to open up around 5 a.m., quickly spreading from 20 to 40 feet wide.

Neighborhood resident Ola Oni told the paper she was getting ready for work around 5 a.m. but had not yet gotten into her car when it fell into the gaping hole.

"It could have happened to me, I am lucky, I'm happy," Oni told the Tribune. She added,"In this kind of neighborhood, I don't think this should happen."
Sinkholes have plagued other areas like Florida, which has seen the underground dangers swallow businesses and homes, even taken a life.
