Nebraska-Omaha player saves SUV driver from sinkhole

Nebraska-Omaha women's basketball player Olivia Borsutzki and teammate Esra Kurban rescued an SUV driver trapped in a sinkhole that swallowed two vehicles.

Olivia Borsutzki noticed bystanders filming instead of helping and stepped in to rescue the SUV driver. The sinkhole, caused by a water main break, was 30 to 50 feet wide.

Borsutzki, a junior guard, said she was struck by the lack of initial help from others. Teammates and coaches have since praised her actions.
