Vehicle gets stuck in sinkhole caused by water main break in Pittsburgh’s Strip District

PITTSBURGH — A water main break on 29^th Street in Pittsburgh’s Strip District broke open the pavement Tuesday morning.

Marcella Pannunzi told Channel 11 her car became stuck in the road.

“I thought I was in the clear. I was driving, and I just went down,” Pannunzio said. “I tried to go forward, go back, and that wasn’t happening, so I got out as quickly as possible,” she said.

Crews were able to remove the vehicle and load it onto a tow truck, allowing Pittsburgh Water to begin repairing the damaged roadway.

Crews were here on Sunday for another water main break. Pittsburgh Water says no customers were impacted during Sunday’s break. One customer was impacted during Tuesday’s break.

Repairs along 29^th Street were complete by 11 a.m. on Tuesday.
