Car gets stuck in sinkhole in Brooklyn

NEW YORK -- A car got stuck in a sinkhole in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, on Friday.

CBS New York's Dan Rice reports someone called 911 around 3:45 p.m. to report a sinkhole on Dekalb Avenue near Kent Avenue.

The view from Chopper 2 showed the right side of a silver sedan stuck in that sinkhole.

According to the Department of Environmental Protection, a water leak from a home on Dekalb caused the roadway to collapse.

Crews shut off water to the home.

The DEP says the pipe will need to be repaired and roadway restoration is underway.
