Sinkhole Swallows Car in Norfolk

A sinkhole swallowed a car and trapped a woman on City Hall Avenue in Norfolk, Virginia—just as she was heading to work. Though she was rescued unharmed, the incident exposed dangerous infrastructure failures in a city already battling rising seas. The collapse was caused by a broken water main, fixed without disrupting water service, but left a gaping hole in a construction zone for the Blue Greenway. The victim’s family is demanding accountability, while city officials scramble to fix the damage and secure federal funding to combat climate-driven infrastructure risks. Crews hope to reopen the road by Friday—another sobering reminder that in a sinking city, every crack could be a crisis. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
