Officials say one person has been killed and two others hurt when two vehicles fell into a water-filled sinkhole after a sewer line ruptured in San Antonio, Texas, during a rainstorm.
San Antonio Fire Department Chief Charles Hood says crews worked Monday to recover a body from an upside-down vehicle nearly submerged in 12 feet of water. Hood says the sinkhole that opened Sunday is as wide as two lanes of a street.
Officials say a male driver was rescued from a second vehicle Sunday night. Authorities say a man and a woman passing by stopped to help the trapped motorist. The rescued driver and the woman were treated for minor injuries.
Hood says a crane would be used to remove the two vehicles.
Rain lingered Monday in San Antonio.
