Unbelievable Photo Shows Truck Stuck Deep In NJ Sinkhole

PASSAIC COUNTY, NJ — An incredible photo featuring a pickup truck lying front-first in a sinkhole is just one of the latest sights that highlight the historic flooding and its affect on Little Falls this week.

Photographer Ashley Oblinger snapped the photo of the truck at the Great Notch Village apartment complex.

That photo is indicative of the problems flooding has caused for Little Falls and Woodland Park this week. Another "wow" moment came in a video of vehicles from a nearby Jeep dealership that were washed away into the Peckman River and dammed up the water.

Dozens of homes near the Peckman River were flooded. Many of those people do not have flood insurance.

Dominick Sponeli's home and business were ruined in the flood.

"I'm beside myself," said Sponeli, a disabled veteran and an HVAC mechanic. "I've never seen it like this. I don't know what I'm going to do. I'm devastated. I lost everything. Everything is gone."
