A large sinkhole that ate a moving car and trapped the driver cost a northwest Ohio City approximately $100,000.
Contractors and utility workers had to clean out the broken sewer lines and then fill-up the sinkhole that opened at an intersection in Toledo last month according to the Associated Press.
The city had to use a private contractor to help with repairs for the broken sewer lines and the street.
WTOL-TV reported that the injured driver who was saved by firefighters from the sinkhole has completely recovered.
"That's a busy road at Detroit and Bancroft. It was affecting the area," said Toledo Public Utilities Director Dave Welch. "It was a 36-inch main that broke. We had to get in there right away. These guys, as private contractors, have the expertise to get to it right away. That's why we used them."
City council will vote on the approval of a $73,000 payment to the contractor. When including the cost of city employee labor, the total bill for the sinkhole increases to approximately $100,000.
