Breaking overnight: Massive water main break floods Long Island City, Queens, leaving several cars submerged. JohnBDias has the latest from the scene.
Water filled the streets and cars were nearly submerged following a massive water main break overnight inAs CBS2's John Dias reported, it's not going to be a fun morning for many on Vernon Boulevard, which looked more like a river than a road. Several cars are submerged in the water, no doubt many now ruined. Crews frantically tried to shut off the water to the surrounding area to stop more from pouring out. It finally started receding about two hours later.
"This time, the water is actually coming out worse than last year. I feel sorry for a lot of people that got new cars, because they're flooded out," one person said."The pipeline first busted, water came out, it wasn't this bad. But now, I don't know, there's all this brown stuff coming out. So I don't even know what's in that water, but it's real bad this year.
Crews are still working on what exactly caused the break, and it's still unclear how many cars were damaged. New Updates
