Woman dramatically saved from sinkhole moments before car swallowed

August 11, 2022 9:12am Updated

A Texas woman is lucky to be alive after a dramatic video shows her being rescued from her car as a sinkhole opens in the middle of the road.

The woman — who was not identified by police — was driving her white sedan along Yandell and Gateway South in El Paso around 6:40 p.m. when a massive sinkhole opened up beneath her car due to heavy rain the area had received, reported Jam Press.

Several good Samaritans and El Paso firefighters jumped into action and managed to extract the woman from the car before it fell into the pit.

No one was seriously injured in the extraction, though three firefighters and the woman were taken to the hospital for minor injuries.

“Special thank you to the good Samaritans that assisted the crews in this rescue,” the fire department said on Facebook.

As of Thursday, the section of the road with the sinkhole was still closed off by police.

Half-naked corpse washes ashore in ritzy Hamptons enclave

August 10, 2022 12:55pm Updated

A half-naked dead body washed ashore in a ritzy Hamptons enclave this week, leaving witnesses stunned at the “ghastly” sight.

The body of Keith Viagas, 63, was spotted Monday morning by two kayakers lying face down on the shoreline of Sag Harbor Cove, in a wealthy village where celebrities like Billy Joel and Richard Gere own homes.

“He was nude apart from a black shirt around his neck, black socks or swim booties on,” one witness told Page Six.

“It was a ghastly sight to stumble across on a beautiful August summer morning.”

The cause of death will be determined by the Suffolk County Medical Examiner’s office, but cops don’t suspect foul play.

“He’s a long-term resident but he was not reported missing because he would commonly go away for a couple of days then return,” Southampton Police Lt. Susan C. Ralph told The Post.

Sag Harbor has long been a getaway and home for wealthy New Yorkers and celebrities including “The View” co-host Joy Behar, who has a $7.13 million home, Real Housewives Jill Zarin and Luann de Lesseps, disgraced newsman Matt Lauer and crooner Jimmy Buffet. Artists including artists Eric Fischl and April Gornik have also lived there.

Also nearby is the house Khloe and Kourtney Kardashian rented for their summer-spin off “Kourtney & Khloé Take the Hamptons” in 2014.
