A Colorado Uber driver who thought he was driving across a puddle early Friday morning quickly discovered that he was plunging into a sinkhole.

The 6-foot-deep sinkhole was caused by a water main break, KDVR reported.

The Uber driver didn't have any passengers at the time of the accident. He was not injured, but his car is a total loss, authorities said.
