What's interesting about this video is the fairly straight lines around the sinkhole. If you look closely, the sink holes follow the painted line where cars are supposed to stop, the painted line for the lane, and along the curb. If you go to the 12 second mark in the video, you can see a rectangular area under the truck as well as as the back end of the area extended behind the car. This tells me there was some repair work done there recently and it wasn't repaired correctly.
