Sinkhole Stops Traffic on I-240




MEMPHIS, Tenn. - A sinkhole along Interstate 240 was still on the mend Wednesday night. The huge hole tore up tires, scaring drivers who didn't see it until they hit it.

Quote from the article:
With 2 lanes of the interstate still closed as of Wednesday night, TDOT said they're prepared to continue working until the sinkhole is mended.

Crews have been out near mile marker 13 since being called out just after 4:00pm Wednesday afternoon. It appears a previous repair didn't stick, creating a surprise black hole for commuters.

Imagine driving and stumbling upon a 6 foot sinkhole. The experience is no longer a hypothetical for people like Marie Cottrill.
