Parents blame ignored warnings on Boling sinkhole collapse
In Boling Texas parents say road sagging reports went unheeded after a sinkhole opened on Route M442 swallowing two pickups and forcing three men to swim to safety. The hole measured about 200 by 300 feet with reports of depths up to 700 to 800 feet deep. Two teens survived after jumping from trucks and swimming in darkness to the edge. Local engineers say the Texas Highway Department is studying repairs as the site expands and undercuts a power line two miles east of Boling.
