Watch: Sinkhole swallows two cars stopped at Nebraska traffic light

Watch: Sinkhole swallows two cars stopped at Nebraska traffic light

Well, this is terrifying.

A couple of Omaha drivers were just stopped at a normal traffic light when the earth decided to open up and swallow them like the Sons of Korah.

Fortunately, both drivers were able to climb out of the hole, with the help of fellow motorists who witnessed the accident which nearly consumed both of their vehicles.

From WOWT in Omaha:

'This caught everybody by surprise,' OPD Lt. Dan Martin said at the scene.

Authorities have closed Pacific Street in both directions between 66th and 69th streets, and warned drivers to avoid the area. Northbound and southbound traffic was still permitted on 67th Street.

The road will be closed for several days as the cars also fell on top of a water main during the road collapse.

Just add another fear to your everyday driving risks!
