Three rescued from car trapped in massive sinkhole

A massive sinkhole swallows a family of three and their car in Peru.

Bystanders rushed to help save the family from the 16-foot wide sinkhole the city of Trujillo.

The civilian good samaritans used ropes and whatever else they could find to hold the driver's door open long enough to get everyone out -- including a two year old girl.

Note that after the woman got out, her husband remembered to get her purse.
