Several vehicles fell into a sinkhole at a car dealership in south Edmonton.
There were four cars in the hole at Infiniti South Edmonton's parking lot when CTV News Edmonton arrived on scene just before 10:45 a.m.
"This is very rare. It's a big one and luckily there's only four in there and not a whole parking lot," Dale Jackson with Cliffs Towing said.
Jackson said two of the vehicles in the sinkhole are new, one is used and one is a customer's car. He added the vehicles didn't sustain "a lot of damage."
It took about an hour and a half to pull all the vehicles out of the sinkhole.
Lucky Uppal, an employee at the next-door Mercedes dealership, says their surveillance camera caught the sinkhole, although they declined to share the video.
"Looked at the camera around midnight. You can see them slowly collapsing into the ground," he told CTV News Edmonton.
EPCOR was on scene, but officials say because the sinkhole happened on private property, it's up to the dealership to deal with it.
Infiniti employees declined to speak with CTV News Edmonton.
How much of USA is going to get swallowed into vast underground caverns created by oil fracking?
It's all certainly normal, just like sudden adult deaths lately.. No reason behind it whatsoever, right.. I guess it's easy to obey the "do not think" subliminal messages coming at us from all sides for majority of the people - it saves a lot of time. Not speaking one's mind out loud even more so
Sink Holes a growing phenomenon that no doubt the authorities already have an angle on, liken to all the other misinformation their so good at dishing out
Baybars Thanks for the info, glad to hear that! I thought it might be because of fracking, but I had no idea if it's connected to the area in any way or there is another reason.. which you've described.
KROMM Much of the south side of Edmonton was great duck hunting territory in the 1950's and 60's. Wet lands, marshes, forests, creeks. In the 70's the city started filling in the wet lands to make more building space and this does not make for the best of foundations.
Baybars Yup, that's the stupidity of greed. Build MORE parking lots, MORE shopping malls, MORE concrete everywhere destroying weather and water balance.. Nature should take everything back in half a century to century at most after fools die in great numbers and hopefully much of the greed with them, since they chose that themselves to "live longer with our great Vaxxx, safe & effective!"
I'm beginning to think there is kind of justice after all.. Like when the ravine swallows back what belongs to it or when ignorant fools get what they laugh at, thinking they know better.. There will be more place for Nature in the future that way, at least something positive about it all
