Man recovering after Jeep plunges into sinkhole in Detroit

A man is recovering after his car hit this massive sinkhole Tuesday. The incident happened near Eastlawn and Scripps on the city's east side. It has since been patched up, but there are concerns that another one could come back. According to neighbors, this area has been a problem for years. The city says contractors have been replacing water and lead service lines on Scripps but calls the construction site unacceptable. "When I turned onto Scripps and I seen my baby car I just freaked. Like, oh my god," mother of the driver Commika Shannon said. Her son's jeep was almost swallowed up by a massive sinkhole. He says he was leaving his grandmother's house and had to drive over the icy road that was flooded just days before. "He was coming home and was trying to figure out which way to go when he slid to the left," his mom said. "Once he gained control of the car he went into the sidewalk trying to get back to the street. That's when the car went into the sinkhole."
