5/4/2004: Sinkhole eats car

OK, the woman wasn't smart to drive through the puddle.

In her defense though, a calm, flat, circular shaped puddle on a road appears to be only a few inches deep at the most. She obviously didn't know the pothole was over 10 feet deep. If she did, she wouldn't have driven through it.

Every rainy day, I walk home past a puddle on a busy street. Hundred of people drive through this puddle. They all assume that it's only a couple of inches deep, and they are right. Have none of you ever driven through a puddle before? Most puddles are shallow.
