Puddle swallows bicyclist
A puddle in a Munich-suburb turned out to be a 6m² crater filled with mud, when a 51-year old woman tried to ride through it.
She managed to free herself from the quicksand-like mud, but only barely.

The crater is believed to be the product of a leaky water-main, removing earth while leaving the surface intact.

This happened only a few hundred meters from the place, where a similar (albeit larger) crater swallowed a Bus in 1994.
