Around 5:15 a.m., the sinkhole at 96th and Houston in the city's Jeffrey Manor neighborhood opened up and two cars fell inside, according to ABC Chicago. Shortly after the fire department arrived on the scene, a third car slid into the sinkhole, which spanned both lanes of traffic at that point.
One person was hospitalized this morning after a sinkhole swallowed three cars in the South Deering neighborhood on the Southeast Side.

A sinkhole swallowed three cars in the South Deering neighborhood on the Southeast Side early Thursday morning.
9:31 a.m. CDT, April 18, 2013
He was trying to drive his vehicle around the hole when it gave out under him and both he and his vehicle fell in, according to witnesses.
The sinkhole is the result of a water main that broke in the area and his gushing water, said Tom LaPorte, a spokesman for the Water Department.
The weather and the intense rain could have aggravated a water main made from cast iron that takes back to 1915, he said. Officials aren't certain of the cause some of the factors being looked at is the age of the main and weather conditions.
