Two motorists fell into a sinkhole Monday evening in Chatsworth, authorities said.
The incident was reported about 7:20 p.m. at 11414 Iverson Road, where one car toppled on top of the other in the hole, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department.
Both people were taken to a hospital with minor, non-life threatening injuries, the LAFD reported.
Because the roadway was completely compromised, authorities said it could not support emergency vehicles, so firefighters slid ladders down to help the trapped motorists.
The roadway was deemed unpassable to traffic and was closed.
