Monroe County - A pothole isn't the only kind of hole you need to worry about. Now, you can add sinkholes to the list.
Mark Mihal, 43, was playing a round of golf in Waterloo. On the 14th hole, he dropped right into the fairway.
He fell 18 feet.
Mihal was rescued in under 20 minutes, but he did suffer a separated shoulder. Geological experts say Mihal is the first person to fall in a sinkhole in Illinois.
