It isn’t the pit of hell. But it’s a pit near Hell.
The town of Hell. Population: Basically no one.
Heavy rainfall caused a hole to open up Sunday afternoon, taking out a bridge and closing Interstate 10.
The closest large population to the collapse is in Blythe, about 50 miles away. But it’s only about nine miles east of Hell, a virtually nonexistent town best known for its name. A flash flood roared through a normally arid dry wash under the bridge, washing it away and swallowing a pickup truck.
