Honey, I think I may have hit a pot-hole

A city street collapsed under a sports utility vehicle early Monday, leaving the vehicle nose down into a deep sinkhole that officials said was caused by a water main break.

From street level, the vehicle was barely visible inside the 12-foot-wide hole Monday morning. It came to rest atop a gas main, which was capped off by KeySpan Corp., and workers were able to remove the SUV by the early afternoon, said Andrew Troisi, a spokesman for the Office of Emergency Management.

The driver of the SUV escaped without serious injuries but was taken to a hospital for treatment of shock.
