Sinkhole traps parked car on North Side
A sinkhole has claimed another car in Pittsburgh.
A Toyota Prius parked along the 1500 block of Homer Street in the city’s Spring Hill neighborhood became trapped Monday after a water main break created a sinkhole that swallowed the car’s front section.
Crews worked to repair the damage on Monday. They were expected to restore water service early Tuesday morning, according to TribLive news partner WTAE.
Pittsburgh has become notorious for sinkholes over the years, most noticeably a large sinkhole that swallowed half a bus in 2019.
Work to fill the Spring Hill sinkhole will be undertaken Tuesday, according to WTAE.
