The truck went halfway into the hole.

There was quite a scene at Van Buren Ave and Ellsworth Road in West Hartford on Monday when a Metropolitan District Commission truck went into a massive hole in the street.

Officials said this was connected to an earlier water main break in West Hartford. The break also affected a sewage line and sewage spilled into homes on Riggs Street.

Cleanup continued on Tuesday,
