GAINESVILLE, Fla. — A 6-year-old girl who fell head-first into a sinkhole in her back yard managed to climb out.
"I got on a root in front of me, and I put my feet on that and pulled myself up, then I got on the root that was up top and I got out," said Ashlyn Coleman.
Coleman fell into a small sinkhole head-first on Wednesday night, while she was outside riding her bicycle near Gainesville.
It was dark outside, so Coleman used her hand-held video game for light and pulled herself out.
She was taken to the hospital, but is expected to be OK.
