Description
A car ended up inside of a massive hole on Poydras Street in New Orleans Central Business District Thursday night.
The vehicle was captured in images that showed the front end of the vehicle completely in the hole with the back end and tires hanging off of the edge.
WWL Louisiana's team was on the scene and spoke to the driver, Catherine Hill, who was on her way to enjoy a night at the symphony.
"What the hell was happening.. I couldn't believe it…Hahaha. I'm in a hole," she told WWL Louisiana.
Hill said she drove near South Liberty and Poydras, a few blocks from the Caesars Superdome and found herself in a giant sinkhole.
In recent days a car and a school bus have ended up in other potholes in the city.
There did not appear to be any injuries.
"It did eat my car… I'm pretty sad about that because I like my car," she said. Hill told WWL Louisiana that there were no barricades and the one sign meant to warn drivers was off. And only a few planks of wood were blocking the massive hole.
"I got up to the wooden place, and I thought oh this means I can drive over it…But now I'm in a hole," she explained.
