A DRIVER said he “thought Hell had opened up” when his car plunged into a hole in a York road.

Grant Parker was driving his Volvo C30 in Granville Terrace, off Hull Road, when part of the road surface collapsed - opening up a hole in the road big enough for him to climb into.

So many loose Russian man hole covers destroying cars, the Baku F1 incident must have just been tradition.

Could have been worse.

There was a case in Italy. Guy brakes for a T-junction. The front of his car suddenly drops as the road collapses under his front wheels. Not soil under the tarmac, just a hole, and also the main water line to the town. Imagine a fountain that nearly reached the sky, a significant flood and no water to the local town for 24 hours.

And someone asked, why did he brake for the T-junction?

He'll probably stay there all night then complain there was no hot water
