CHICAGO — A sinkhole that formed in the city’s north side Uptown neighborhood stalled one driver when their SUV got stuck in the roadway.

The hole formed around midday Thursday on the 1200 block of West Winnemac Avenue.

A photo shared with the WGN newsroom showed the right front wheel of the vehicle stuck in the crevasse, causing the read of the SUV to be lifted off the ground.

No other information was immediately available but crews were on the scene at 2 p.m. working to remove the vehicle from the hole. The hole was covered by 3:30 p.m.

Correction: A previous version of this article incorrectly reported the hole’s location. The copy has been updated.

Deal Dive: Sagetap looks to bring enterprise software sales into the 21st century
When the founders of Sagetap, Sahil Khanna and Kevin Hughes, started working at early-stage enterprise software startups, they were surprised to find that the companies they worked at were trying to sell their innovative tech through old-school methods like repeated cold emails and calls. Khanna, a former product marketer, and Hughes, a former sales manager, knew these methods weren't effective to either sell software or help buyers get the solution they needed. "Company executives are frustrated, their email is destroyed," Khanna, Sagetap's CEO, told TechCrunch.
