A large sinkhole opened up in front of the Moe's Original Bar B Que in Woodfin on Friday.

An oil truck driver told police he was leaving the restaurant and heard a noise that sounded like his tires popping.

He said he got out and saw the sink hole forming under the truck's back tires.

Police said the ground may have been weakened by recent storms.

Authorities said two trucks came and pulled the oil truck out of the sinkhole.
