EL PASO, Texas -- A dramatic video shows a woman being pulled from a car stuck in a sinkhole in central El Paso on Tuesday evening.



Moments before her car was swallowed by a flooded sinkhole firefighters and good Samaritans rushed to save the woman.

The sinkhole opened after a water main broke, authorities said.



The video shows how deep the sinkhole was when crews used a backhoe to remove the car from the bottom of it on Wednesday.



The woman was not seriously hurt.
