The family of the driver said he was shaken up, but okay. Betty Aguilar, the driver's cousin, told FOX 4 there were signs around, but they had been blown away. She said there was just some wood over the hole.

There was just like a little wood, but that wasn't going to stop anything from going through there," Aguilar said. "But that's the city's fault; they should have put something more secure."

The driver's family said they had to use a ladder to get him out of the hole, and said they were upset that not enough was done to prevent this from happening.

Now that is a tight fit! How did he get out of the car?

What happened to the 1 inch steel plates that are usually put over such a hole? 3/4 plywood just won’t work.

Betty Aguilar needs to see a doctor about that protruding eye. She should have her thyroid checked, it could be Graves Disease.

It was Friday afternoon! This is the Kansas City Water Department we're talking about here.
