A massive sinkhole on the Long Island Expressway shut down traffic and nearly swallowed a car whole Thursday, forcing the closure of two lanes just before rush hour, police said. The 8-foot-deep and 10-foot-wide hole suddenly opened up on the westbound lanes of the expressway near Exit 49 in Melville just after 1 p. m.
