That's a Truck in a Sinkhole

Oh, that?  It's just a truck in a sinkhole.

The sight surely had people in Berlin scratching their heads wondering how no one was hurt.

Connecticut Light and Power crews were preparing to put up a new pole on Town Farm Lane when the truck backed up and hit a fire hydrant.  That caused a water main to burst.  And the water main generated the sinkhole.

While crews worked to fix the problem, ten businesses in Berlin had limited water and electrical service was not disrupted.

A CL&P truck met a sinkhole Tuesday afternoon.
