Road With Sinkhole Now Repaired 12 Days After Opening Up

SHERIDAN, Colo. (CBS4) - The road where a sinkhole swallowed an SUV on July 24 is now fully repaired.

The sinkhole on Oxford Avenue near Santa Fe Drive opened up during a rainstorm. The hole was about three lanes wide.

The driver was able to make it out of the SUV right before her car was surrounded by asphalt and water.

A sinkhole in nearly the same spot swallowed Sheridan Police Sgt. Greg Miller's police cruiser in 2015.
