Torrential Rain Causes Second Oregon Sinkhole
The first sinkhole occurred in December.
— -- A road in Oregon has crumbled away after a huge sinkhole opened up on the other side of the road where a sinkhole appeared last month, according to police.
The initial sinkhole happened in December in the parking lot of the Fireside Diner in Harbor, Oregon, after torrential rain.
On Thursday, the ground became unstable after storms battered the local area. A section of Shopping Center Avenue - parallel to Highway 101 - began to slip away, according to Jared Castle, a spokesman for the Oregon Department of Transportation.
Police cordoned off the area and set up a detour for drivers.
