As a bemused crowd stood by in the Haight Ashbury last night. authorities tried to figure out what to do with the Plymouth slicking out of Central Avenue.
"It happened like something out of the Twilight Zone." said Bruce Shell, who had been looking out his window. "This car was just driving down the street and the road started to swallow it up." Among the 10 or so gathered around the surrealistic scene were the three people whose misfortune it was lo have been in ihe sedan. They were fortunate enough, however. not to have been seriously injured. Carmen Camilleri, 31, was in the back seat when the street opened. "It felt like someone hit us and we wero going to turn over, except that all of the sudden we were under the street." she said. Shell helped Carmen and her parents.
