A sinkhole opened up in a busy street and swallowed a car, forcing police to shut the road.
Most cars drove around the large sinkhole on Carlton Road in Worksop, Nottinghamshire, which opened up on Saturday at 9am.
Yet one unlucky motorist managed to get stuck in it, leaving his car jutting up in the air.
The elderly driver of a black Skoda Fabia driver accidentally wedged the front left wheel of his car in the sinkhole.
Police closed the road between Eastgate and Overend Lane and said it would likely be shut for a while, and buses have been diverted from the area.

Russell Gull, the owner of Res Barbers, helped the trapped driver out of his 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.’
No one was injured in the accident.
