BIG SPRING, Texas For Michele Meyers, Friday started off like any other day in Big Spring.
Until it was not.
She drove into what looks like a sinkhole near Birdwell Lane and East 2nd Street.
“I was coming home from visiting my grandbabies and my car is low, Meyers said. I didn’t want to bog out in it. So I started turning around, going real slow and all the sudden in seconds I was in a hole.”
Meyers says it was then she had to crawl out of her vehicle.
