Water main break floods South Los Angeles streets

CBS LA- A river ran through South Los Angeles after a water main break, causing a giant sinkhole that swallowed at least two trucks.

Street flooding in the 300 block of East 55th Street was first reported at about 4:55 a.m., according to the Los Angeles Fire Department. The flood of water appeared to extend for several blocks and was still gushing as late as 8 a.m.

At 7:20 a.m., firefighters were called in to help move more than a dozen nearby resident as rising waters began to threaten several homes.

No injuries have been reported, and LADWP crews are on the scene. It’s not clear if evacuation orders will be required.

The break was reportedly in a 24-inch water main.
