LOS ANGELES (KGTV) – A woman and her daughter had to be pulled from a large sinkhole that opened on a Chatsworth street during Monday evening’s strong storm that pounded the Los Angeles area.
The rescue took place late Monday night after two vehicles were swallowed by the massive sinkhole on Iverson Road.
Two people managed to climb out from the hole, but emergency responders had to pull a woman and her daughter as water filled the sinkhole.
The mom and child were hospitalized with minor injuries.
Throughout the day on Tuesday, crews worked to remove the two vehicles from the sinkhole.
One of the cars had to be dismantled and crushed to help crews in the removal process.
Crews are working quickly to fix the sinkhole ahead of another storm forecasted to hit the Southern California area this weekend.
