The Los Angeles City Council agreed Wednesday to pay up to $4 million to settle a lawsuit brought by a woman whose car plunged into a sinkhole in Studio City. Firefighters reported that night that they arrived to find a car upside down in a big, dark sinkhole full of rushing water. A woman was standing on top of the car, roughly 10 feet below the ground, screaming for help. She later told firefighters that she thought she was going to die before she heard firefighters yelling back, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department. The Los Angeles City Attorney’s Office declined to comment on the settlement.
