A large sinkhole has opened at a busy Fargo intersection.
KFGO-AM reports that a driver called 911 about 2:30 a.m. Tuesday to report the sinkhole in the road at the intersection of 42nd Street and Ninth Avenue South.
Police used their squad cars to barricade the street and redirect traffic around the sinkhole until street barriers could be put up.
The hole is about 8 feet wide by 10 feet long and varies in depth.
Public Works Supervisor Lee Anderson says it appears the street collapse was the result of a problem with a large sewer pipe.
