Sinkhole Swallows Pickup Truck

A water main break is believed to have been the cause

A water main break is believed to have caused a massive sinkhole that swallowed a pickup truck in Central Falls, Rhode Island, on Tuesday.

While police have yet to determine the cause, WJAR-TV crews captured a photo of a pickup truck in the sinkhole, located at the intersection of Hunt and Liberty streets.

At this point, it is unclear if Tuesday morning’s heavy rain had anything to do with the incident.
