BMW: The ultimate sinkhole machine
This weekend's storms caused a little bit of road flooding around here, with the usual spots going underwater for a while.

In East Texas, things got a little hairier. In Central, which is in Lufkin's Angelina County, a couple driving on FM 2021 near Highway 59 "felt the road about to give," KLTV reports, and jumped out.

Moments later, their car was at the bottom of this sinkhole.

That looks more like an old wooden bridge washed out on some back country road.  You can see the wood railings on the side....hmmm....park the car on an old bridge that is about to give way.  $$
