2020 has been a bad year for almost every single person, but it looks like one man from New York City had a worse one.
A picture that is viral on social media right now shows a massive sinkhole swallowing an entire SUV in New York City, USA.
The FDNY (Fire Department of New York City) said that they responded to the reports of trauma and found an SUV inside the sinkhole.
The SUV was empty when the incident happened.
I mean, let’s sum this entire year in a sentence or more.
First the bushfires in Australia, then the pandemic, which was followed by extreme lockdown measures, and after all that, we are now facing life problems because we ran out of money.
But after all that, the poor owner of this car had to experience more problems.
It’s just a bad year, just a bad year.
The SUV was discovered nose-down inside a sinkhole at around 6 am on 70th Street near 52nd Avenue in Maspeth.
The incident happened on November 26, 2020.
The Fire Department of the City of New York said in a statement that they responded to reports of trauma, but luckily no one was inside the vehicle when it fell inside the sinkhole.
The images were shared on social media, where it went viral right away.
City Councilman Robert Holden shared it on Twitter along with the caption:
We need the city to investigate the cause of this sinkhole. I have spoken today with @NYCDDC (NYC Department of Design and Construction) and they assured me that they will determine what happened and make sure the area is safe.
It is unclear what caused the sinkhole to open up.
The authorities did not release any official information about the incident and the owner of the vehicle.
