Violent images from California: cars and fire in sinkholes

los angeles - Two cars and a fire truck were engulfed by sinkholes during a mega storm in California. A 48-year-old motorist thereby escaped death.

While she was still in her car, she fell several meters into a sinkhole on a boulevard in Studio City. She climbed out of her car and waited on the roof of her car to help. Meanwhile, slightly lower swirled the water under the road. Firefighters managed to rescue the woman just in time with a ladder, shortly before another car was swallowed by the hole. The second vehicle's driver managed to escape in time.

The fire truck tumbled into a hole in a freeway at Cajon Pass. There were no people anymore.

The wet weather followed a long period of drought, thus ended the state from one extreme to the other. The storm caused the last few days for mudslides, flooding and power outages, but has now departed to the east toward Nevada and Arizona. For northern California expected more rain.

At the storm were three deaths. A 55-year-old man was electrocuted when a power cable snapped and landed on him. Victorville rescuers found a body in a car was engulfed by a flood and Saturday in Thousand Oaks found the body of a man who was swept away by the water.
