ST. LOUIS —
A 20-foot hole opened in a street and a car fell in, leaving two people hospitalized Thursday.
Firefighters used ladders to climb into the 15-foot-deep hole and rescue Charles Robinson, 58, and Marcella Calvin, 29, who were in satisfactory condition at St. Louis University Hospital.
A 20-by-20-foot section began to give way as a bus traveled over the spot Wednesday, firefighters and witnesses said. The car was behind the bus and fell in, they said.
The cause of the collapse was not immediately known.
