Baltimore: Giant Sinkhole Swallows Dozens of Cars on Busy ExpresswayBaltimore: Giant Sinkhole Swallows Dozens of Cars on Busy Expressway Baltimore, Maryland – A massive sinkhole has swallowed dozens of cars on a busy expressway, plunging them into a 20-foot deep abyss. The incident has caused widespread chaos and traffic disruptions in the city. The sinkhole, which formed on the southbound lanes of the Jones Falls Expressway (I-83) near downtown Baltimore, opened up suddenly on Thursday morning. Eyewitnesses described the ground crumbling beneath their feet, sending cars crashing into the void. According to the Baltimore Fire Department, at least 35 vehicles were swallowed by the sinkhole, including cars, trucks, and vans. Several people were trapped inside their vehicles, but all have since been rescued and taken to local hospitals. “It was like something out of a horror movie,” said one survivor, who witnessed the incident from his car. “The ground just opened up, and cars were disappearing one after the other.” The cause of the sinkhole is still under investigation, but authorities believe it may have been caused by heavy rainfall in recent days. Baltimore has been experiencing severe thunderstorms and flash flooding in recent weeks, which may have weakened the soil beneath the expressway. The sinkhole has closed a major thoroughfare in the city, causing massive traffic delays and disruptions. The expressway is a vital artery for commuters and businesses, and its closure is having a significant impact on the local economy. Emergency crews are working around the clock to repair the road and remove the damaged vehicles from the sinkhole. However, officials say it may take several days or even weeks to reopen the expressway. The sinkhole has raised concerns about the safety and infrastructure of Baltimore’s roads and bridges. The city has a history of sinkholes, but this is the largest and most destructive one in recent memory. The incident has also prompted calls for increased investment in infrastructure maintenance and repairs. Baltimore is facing a growing budget deficit, and some critics argue that funding for road repairs has been prioritized too low in recent years.
