From the roads to the rails, storms brought the Monday afternoon rush to a standstill. Making matters even worse for one neighborhood in the Bronx, CBS2's camera caught the moment a van fell into a sinkhole. AliBaumanTV reports.
Making matters even worse for one neighborhood in theHours later, residents there were still without water, Ali Bauman reported.The sinkhole inThe Department of Environmental Protection told CBS2 it cannot say definitively if the sinkhole's formation was weather related, but it started sinking during the storm and it continued to get worse.
It goes without saying it was a wet one Monday. Subway commuters had to wade through the flooding platforms as waterfalls of dirty water rained down. The ride home wasn't much better from a car standpoint, either. Drivers continue to deal with floods and street closures all through Upper Manhattan into the Bronx.Traffic was backed up on the Major Deegan Expressway as flooding closed down several lanes and water was flowing over sidewalks and side streets from the Highbridge section over to Hunts Point, where water nearly filled the entire avenue.
"It happened Aug. 15 and it took them three months for them to fix the work and we didn't have water. Now, we're gonna have no water, of course," Joey Saadah said. Again, nobody was injured in Morris Park, but the water is still off for the neighborhood. The DEP it's also investigating if the sinkhole has anything to do with the one that formed in the same area last year.
