Virginia Sinkhole Swallows Car

Talk about stuck between a rock and a hard place. A Virginia driver found herself sucked into a sinkhole Monday morning. It happened just off U.S. Highway 29 North - that's southwest of Lynchburg.

CBS 6 viewer Leonard Harville captured these images of the car and the Gretna Volunteer Fire and Rescue team in action.

Harville says the driver was stuck inside her green mini-van until crews arrived her injures are not believed to be life-threatening.

He says the ditch was approximately 20 feet deep and had washed the roadway out and other drivers had complained about the potential problem.
