Constable Trevino said the hole is around five feet deep.

HOUSTON — An apparent water main break has led to a sinkhole on Sylvan Road in the Idylwood community Saturday morning, according to Harris County Pct. 6 Constable Silvia Trevino.

Trevino said the sinkhole, located on Sylvan Road at Maxwell Lane, is about 5-feet deep.

Public works was called out to the scene and the water has been shut off in the area as repairs are underway.

A photo Trevino shared on social media appeared to show a car stuck in the water-filled hole.

KHOU 11’s Michelle Choi stopped the hole and noticed Houston Public Works was already there working to assess it.  We’ll let you know when it’s filled in.
