A water main break on West Raymond Street in Hartford not only closed down the street but it also caused some problems for an SUV and its driver.

Willena Hardie's husband was backing out of their driveway when one of the front tires fell into a sinkhole.

"He was banged around and so frazzled, so he called me and that's what I found when I got here," she said.

The sinkhole was caused by a small water main break.

Crews from the Metropolitan District Commission shut down the roadway while a tow truck was brought in to help the SUV out.

The street and part of a front lawn had to be dug up so the water line could be repaired.

Officials said water was only shut off to one house.
