A water leak in southeast Houston has created a big problem after neighbors say a hole budged on Frey Road and Elton Street.
Neighbors told ABC13 that at least two cars drove right into it Monday morning during their commute.
On Monday afternoon, public works had a crew on the ground as repairs were now underway after what public works called a big leak that created a much bigger problem.
Neighbors told ABC13 that portions of the road started caving in, creating concern among those who live there.
“We were just driving around minding our own business, and it scared me cause you don’t imagine just driving down the road and going down a big hole,” Andreina Rodriguez said.
Rodriguez was one of at least two drivers Monday morning stuck inside a hole on the road that, from the surface, looks like a small puddle but is much deeper.
“The city doesn’t want to help, or they said they cannot help, and it’s a city issue. The road is now faulty because the pipeline busted,” Rodriguez said.
The city said it elevated the request for repairs at this site after infrastructure concerns arose.
