Bensonhurst water main break causes car-trapping sinkhole
A water main break on a Bensonhurst block Thursday evening took a turn for the worse resulting in an approximately four foot by five foot sinkhole that laid claim to the tail end of a nearby Honda Odyssey.
According to Fire Department officials, a call came in at around 10:30 p.m. for a water main break on Bay 13th Street, between Shore Parkway and Cropsey Avenue.
Once on the scene, FDNY discovered the vehicle in the hole and reported the condition to the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) as well as securing the area for safety, shutting off the water.
