A significant water main break on Tuesday afternoon caused a large sinkhole to open near the Sunset Strip in West Hollywood, California, damaging several vehicles. The incident occurred around 4:30 p.m. local time.
Emergency crews responded to the scene, which was located near the intersection of Sunset Boulevard and Marmont Lane. The gushing water created a crater that swallowed at least two cars. It is unclear if any injuries were reported.
City water department officials were on site assessing the situation and working to shut off the flow of water. The break caused significant disruption in the area, with authorities urging drivers to avoid the vicinity. The full extent of the damage and the cause of the water main break are still under investigation.
