Out in San Joaquin County, it seems a few drivers don't like to abide by road closures that inconvenience them, and this has resulted in three vehicles in two weeks getting fully lodged in a sinkhole that's about 12 to 15 feet wide.

"It happened again. We can’t make this stuff up," writes CHP-Tracy on Facebook after the latest incident of a pickup truck tumbling fully into the sinkhole. "This was 100 percent preventable. There is no excuse. The signs are clear, visible, and unobstructed."

The sinkhole formed on Kassen Road in San Joaquin County, just outside of Tracy and west of Modesto. As KPIX reports, the sinkhole began forming on January 17.

That above incident happened on January 28, and two days earlier, this happened, involving a silver sedan and a similar scofflaw who didn't want to heed the warnings.

"We’re at a loss for words. If only there were signs and/or barriers that could have prevented this…" CHP said at the time.
