A Spectrum service van was trapped and slowly swallowed by a sinkhole following a severe water main break in an affluent Los Angeles neighborhood Wednesday afternoon.

The break flooded the busy intersection of Franklin and Normandie avenues in Los Feliz, sending water rushing down Normandie.

The torrent tore through the asphalt and gushed from beneath the street.

LADWP crews and firefighters shut down surrounding roads a block in all directions as utility workers scrambled to shut off the main line.

Nearby homes currently appear safe, and no injuries have been reported.
