I Can Imagine The Phone Call To The Wife,

"There I was driving along minding my own business," " when all of a sudden the puddle I drove into got deeper and deeper and that's why I am late!"

the Ukranian driver already having a bad day - having taken a wrong turn onto a highway - found it getting a lot worse when he gingerly crept over a water-filled pothole, only to discover it was a 12-foot deep crater, the driver had to smash his rear window and scramble out to the top to avoid a muddy end, before waiting for workmen to come and rescue his car, it appears a water main had burst and caused the hole as it swept away soil around the fracture and he could not blame Sat-Nav!
