Chatsworth, Los Angeles, CA: Two vehicles fell into a sinkhole during a torrential downpour late Monday evening, Jan. 9, in the Chatsworth suburban neighborhood of Los Angeles.

Los Angeles and Ventura County Fire Departments responded to reports of two vehicles that had fallen into a 15-foot sinkhole in the 11000 block of Iverson Road just before 7:30 p.m.

The occupant of one of the vehicles self-extricated, however, the occupant of the second vehicle needed to be hoisted out by fire department rescue personnel.

Crews worked in heavy downpour to rescue the single trapped occupant.

The unrelenting winter storm pummeled the Southland Monday evening wreaking havoc with fallen trees, power outages, mudslides and major flooding in some areas.
