A sinkhole opened up in a busy Worksop street and swallowed a car causing police to shut the road.

The car was left wedged in the sinkhole with its front wheel trapped but incredibly no one was injured.

Road users on Carlton Road were forced to drive around the large sinkhole after it opened up yesterday, Saturday, at 9am.

Police were forced to close the road after the elderly Skoda Fabia driver accidentally trapped his car.

Nearby residents said the area is prone to random holes forming as the road is built on top of an old drain.

Russell Gull, the owner of Res Barbers, helped the trapped driver out of his sunken car.

He said: “The first thing I noticed was a man warning us there was a pothole.

“One car went round it but the next just drove straight ahead and dove right in.

“We helped the guy out, he was elderly, but seemed okay, just a bit shaken.”
