Race to rescue driver after car submerged in sinkhole

A Virginia police officer and a group of civilians raced to rescue a woman trapped in her vehicle after it became submerged in a sinkhole.

The incident was captured on police body cam video on Tuesday (23 June) after a water main break reportedly caused a seven-foot-wide sinkhole to open.

Norfolk Police Officer AJ Stevenson approached the woman as the front of her car sank into the water.

The officer directed the citizens to grab his belt so he could pull the driver out of the vehicle as water flooded the interior.

They successfully brought her to solid ground in under a minute, officials said.
