"Shocking video shows a dump truck swallowed by a massive sinkhole it was on its way to repair in New Jersey, as a car sank into a second one nearby. The truck was delivering asphalt to the site on Tuesday when it ended up vertically halfway in the ground, with the front half sticking out above the street in Philipsburg near the border with Pennsylvania, footage obtained by 6 ABC shows."
"When it fell, it damaged a water main, leaving dozens of customers without water, the local utility company, Aqua New Jersey, confirmed. The truck driver sustained minor injuries and was treated on scene by medical personnel, according to the Phillipsburg Police Department. Some 30 feet down the street, a car sank into a second sinkhole. That car has been removed, according to WFMZ."
A dump truck delivering asphalt fell vertically halfway into a sinkhole on Summit Avenue in Philipsburg, New Jersey, with the front half still protruding above the street. The collapse opened fissures near the intersection with Lewis Street and damaged a water main, leaving dozens of customers without water. The truck driver sustained minor injuries and was treated on scene. About 30 feet away, a car sank into a separate sinkhole and was later removed. Aqua New Jersey must wait until the truck is removed before repairing the water main. The town declared a local state of emergency and urged people to avoid the area.
