‘Welcome to Cleveland’: Video shows police find water truck stuck in sinkhole
CLEVELAND (WJW) – New video released to the FOX 8 I-Team shows the moment Cleveland police showed up to a big water main break with a city truck stuck in a sinkhole.
You quickly see why police could hardly believe what they found at the scene. A city crew and residents seemed stunned too.

Last month, Cleveland police rolled up to Bosworth and Dale at 3 a.m., and they immediately noticed the street flooded from a water main break.
In the middle of it, they saw a water department truck nose-down in a sinkhole.
An officer asked a worker if the truck was completely in the hole, and he said, in fact, it was stuck with the truck’s front end unable to move.

You see police had to walk around the flooded street to get from one point to another. One resident came out of a home telling police she had been asleep.
“I don’t have any water. This is crazy,” she said. “What are the odds? Oh, my God!”
“Welcome to Cleveland,” an officer responded.
The I-Team reported earlier, in six weeks, the Cleveland water system had 400 water main breaks. Those occurred throughout the system.
