Sinkhole swallows 3 trailers, car at Fredericton RV park

Post-tropical storm Arthurs pounding rain caused a massive sinkhole that swallowed three trailers and one car at a Fredericton campground on Saturday.

Nadine Cormier was at the Hartt Island RV Resort on Saturday afternoon and watched as the sinkhole appeared.

"I watched a car go down into the sinkhole. Disappeared completely gone. It ended up quite aways away,"Cormier said.

Cormier said they saw some people "screaming and yelling" at the beginning.

"When we saw that [sinkhole], we went and banged on all the campers,"Cormier said.

"There were a few tense moments but nobody got hurt."

Cormier said all of the campers started doing whatever they could to help people stay out of danger.

Post-tropical storm Arthur brought heavy rain across New Brunswick over the weekend.

Noonan recorded 140 mm of rain on Saturday. The Canadian Hurricane Centre said 100 km/h gusts of wind were recorded in Fredericton.
