A semi-truck became trapped in a sinkhole caused by a reported water main break Wednesday morning, prompting a road closure at a busy Opa-locka intersection.

Authorities said it occurred at the intersection of Northwest 42nd Avenue and 135th Street.

Miami-Dade Fire Rescue officials said the call was received as a public service response for reports of a water main break. They confirmed that one fire rescue unit responded to the scene.

Officials said there were no reported injuries. They said that by the time Opa-locka police arrived to assist with traffic and the road closure, the semi-truck driver had driven out of the hole.

The cause of the water main break and the extent of the roadway damage were not immediately available.
