A driver in Oklahoma who ignored barricades set up amid ongoing flooding ended up needing to be rescued on Wednesday after crashing into a sinkhole, according to officials. The incident happened in the town Blackburn, located northwest along the Arkansas River where flooding has inundated communities for more than a week. In a Facebook post, city officials said the man with a dog in the back of his truck drove around barricades and ended up crashed into a sinkhole. The Oklahoma Highway Patrol told FOX23 the driver went around two sets of roadblocks before striking the sinkhole. The driver and the dog were rescued and not injured, city officials said.
