Major incident declared over sinkhole swallowing up UK street | BBC News


A huge sinkhole in a street in Surrey, UK, is continuing to grow and swallow up more road, with the county council declaring a major incident.

The original hole first appeared in the street late on Monday night, growing to at least 65ft (20m) long by Tuesday lunchtime.

A second opening has now appeared, with a car teetering on the brink and the owner unable to move it.

Families have been evacuated from their homes over fears of an explosion caused by exposed cables, with one resident saying the street now "sounded like a waterfall".
