There were no casualties from the accident, but the surrounding area now has restricted entry.

"When we arrived at the scene, three of the rear wheels had fallen into the sinkhole, causing the truck to tilt,” said an official from the fire department. “We installed supports to ensure safety."

Police are investigating the cause of the accident based on the driver's statement that "a sinkhole occurred while driving."
