Break in 105-year-old pipe causes 3-foot-wide sinkhole

A century-old water main in Greenwich Village broke causing a sinkhole to swallow the wheel of a box truck Friday morning, officials said.

The 3-foot wide hole sprayed water from the 30-inch main that dates back to 1908, DEP officials said.

The box truck that got stuck in the hole around 9:00 a.m. was removed by Emergency Service Units shortly after, FDNY said.

Water has not been shut off to the surrounding area and is not expected to cause shortage in water supply or flooding to the area, DEP said.

Nobody was injured in the incident.
