Water main break causes street collapse in Seymour

A sinkhole has opened up on a Seymour street and you are being urged to avoid the area.

According to city officials, the road has collapsed on South O’Brien Street, just south of the intersection with U.S. 50. That comes after a water main break in the area. Indiana American Water Co. has been on the scene working to fix the problem.

The city expects the street to reopen by 5 this afternoon, with Lawyer Excavating making the repairs to the street.

Photos from the scene show a car having to be towed out of the large hole in the roadway.
