A giant sinkhole opened up in a Maryland neighborhood, swallowing a car and forcing people to evacuate their homes.

Once the car was swallowed up, you could only see the bumper.

A homeowner in Bladensburg says he was backing out of his driveway and hit the hole because it was hidden by water.

He felt a tire sink, quickly grabbed his three children and got out of the car.

A second car looked like it could fall in too.

A 90-year-old underground pipe had burst, leading to this mess.
