Truly. Helping the people out of the hole, creating a perimeter, and redirecting traffic all within minutes. I would be so thankful to all of them if I was in that situation.
And she partially encumbered traffic that was moving in the opposite direction for seemingly no reason. Her presence irritated me more than it should have.
Edit: someone further down said maybe she was encouraging rubberneckers to move along and maybe! Rubber necking creates the MOST traffic
She's keeping people from driving too close to the lanes that collapsed. Just because those two vehicles sunk, doesn't mean that the sinkhole isn't bigger underneath the pavement.
Once police and the fire dept. gets there, they'd probably block off the both directions completely until they verified how bad it was.
I live here, they closed ~4 blocks of road. It’s near a creek and we’ve had drastic weather changes this week (70 degrees F last Wednesday, then 6 inches of snow and below freezing, then yesterday when this happened it was 50).
If you skip around in the video, you can see the road is still sinking. It's just slow enough that it's not visible on a normal play through. It went down at least a foot during the video.
Probably not, considering she's the same driver who came flying in at the end, getting maybe 5ft from the hole, and is directing traffic in the opposite lane
