An Ottawa man escaped a highway sinkhole with only minor scrapes and bruises after his car was swallowed during afternoon rush hour yesterday.

Juan Pedro Unger told CBC News he was driving home eastbound on Highway 174 in the east Ottawa community of Orleans when he saw a black patch ahead in his lane near the Jeanne d'Arc Boulevard exit.

At first, Unger said, he thought it was a tarp, but when he discovered it was a large hole, it was too late to stop.
