Jeep Plunges Into Sinkhole in Savannah | Savannah News

A Savannah resident, Kenneth Flowe, narrowly escaped injury when his rental Jeep plunged into a sinkhole while driving at just three miles per hour. The sudden collapse, triggered by a water main leak, not only swallowed his vehicle but also ruptured another water main. Thanks to quick thinking, Kenneth escaped through a window before help arrived. City crews repaired both leaks in under three hours, restoring Bee Road by Wednesday. Mayor Van Johnson praised the rapid response while reaffirming the city’s commitment to infrastructure upgrades. A harrowing reminder that even in thriving cities, aging pipes and hidden dangers can strike without warning. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
