Giant sinkhole opens on Walton Way in Augusta
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) – Amid intensely high temperatures followed by a torrential downpour Wednesday, a sinkhole opened up on Walton Way.
The pavement was buckled around the deep hole in front of Langford Middle School, 3019 Walton Way.
It was big enough to swallow a medium-size car.
Crews surrounded it with yellow tape and glow sticks to keep anyone from falling into the chasm at the entrance to the Windsor Court neighborhood.
It happened Wednesday evening, hours after another calamity near a different school. An abandoned structure caught fire Wednesday morning near Gracewood Elementary.
