Drone footage shot on December 5 shows the scale of a sinkhole in San Antonio, Texas, that claimed the life of an off-duty sherriff’s deputy whose car fell into the hole on December 4.

The dead woman was named in reports as 69-year-old Dora Linda Nishihara.

Hers was one of two cars to drive into the sinkhole, according to reports; a man in the other car was reportedly rescued and taken to hospital with minor injuries.
