sinkhole

Engineers working to repair a sinkhole which appeared in Godstone High Street in Surrey six months ago say the collapse started with a burst water main.

Business owners in Surrey blighted by a massive sinkhole say they are fed up of people thinking their village is closed six months on.

Researchers working with cave explorers uncovered the remnants of an auroch while surveying a number of caverns and sinkholes near Ingleborough.

Grabbing a rope from their work site, they tossed it into the sinkhole to the female driver, who had by this time made her way out of the car.

If a sinkhole opens up and swallows 10 cars, leaving traffic backed up for miles, people will just abandon their vehicles and walk five miles home.
