BURBANK, California (KABC) — Crews worked to repair a stretch of road in Burbank after a water main break buckled the pavement Friday morning, temporarily trapping a pickup truck.
The incident happened around 1 a.m. near Hollywood Way and Whitnall Highway.
There were fears of a sinkhole as the rushing water from the broken water main flushed out much of the foundation below the road, and a large section of the pavement gave way underneath a white truck that was parked on the street.
The vehicle was eventually hoisted out, and no injuries were reported.
It doesn’t appear that the damage extended to the sidewalk or close to any homes in the area.
The cause of the break is still under investigation.
