Georgia police shut down a section of roadway after a fissure stretching across both lanes, caused by flooding, appeared to swallow a vehicle.

Images captured by the Athens-Clarke County Police show the white sedan teeter on both the front and rear bumpers over what looked like a California fault line in a Hollywood movie, before falling completely into the crack and beneath the road

Police said the road began to crumble after a black car passed over an area near a small creek that flows into Trail Creek.

As the road crumbled, a nearly five-to-10-foot fissure formed, police said.

Then a white sedan heading down the same road approached the section of road and was unable to stop in time, getting stuck between both sides of the crack, police explained.

The driver was able to get out of the vehicle without injury, WAGA reported, though police were not sure how.
