Cleveland Water crews were fixing a water main break on Bosworth Road near West 117th Street when one of their trucks was swallowed by a sinkhole.

The water main break was reported around 3:30 a.m.

There were two people inside the truck at the time it fell into the sinkhole.

Fortunately, no injuries were reported.

A crane and a tow truck were needed to pull the truck out of the sinkhole.

The sinkhole is about eight feet wide and 15 feet long.

The break itself is 10 inches.

Officials said they have turned off the water main and are excavating the site.

Repairs usually take four to eight hours.
