A 35-year old man, who has not been named, made news in Boston after he was involved in an odd accident that set off a chain of events that eventually led to a…sinkhole swallowing his Jeep Patriot.

According to local reports, the accident took place on Lowell Street in Lexington, Massachusetts, on Tuesday morning at around 6:30 am when the silver Jeep smashed into a telephone pole and then rebounded into a fire hydrant, which cracked and started flooding the surrounding area with water.

The flow of water gradually compromised the ground creating a giant sinkhole that ate up the Jeep. Fortunately, the driver suffered only minor injuries. Watch the videos after the jump.
