Hoboken water main break swallows car on street

HOBOKEN — Another water main break caused areas of high water and a car to fall into a hole on Tuesday morning in Hoboken.

Suez Water crews are working on the break that developed at 5th Street and Willow Avenue, according to a notice on the city's website. Crews isolated the break around 7:30 a.m., according to a tweet from the city.

CBS New York reported that some customers have little or no water pressure in their homes and businesses. However, a boil water advisory was not issued.

The break developed under a parked car, according to ABC 7 Eyewitness News, causing the hole to open up and swallow the car.

The break has closed Willow Avenue south of 6th Street and has caused NJ Transit's 126 bus Willow Avenue route to run on a detour along Washington Street.

NJ.com reported its the third water main break in Hoboken this year and the second in February.
