OMAHA, Nebraska

A garbage truck crashed into a sinkhole in downtown Omaha around 8:30 a.m. near 16th & Farnam St.

Omaha City Engineer Austin Rowser said that the alley has been a concern for the city. The driver pulled away a barricade to drive through the alley, Rowser said.

It's unclear at this time if that barricade was blocking a sinkhole or if the truck created the sinkhole.

Firefighters said the truck fell into a 10 to 12’ deep hole with a number of utility lines, including power lines and gas lines.

Officials said power was briefly shut off, and gas remain shut off for part of the downtown area. The Omaha Public Power District and the Metropolitan Utilities District are involved at the scene.

Engineers are assessing the scale of damage to a canal built more than 250 years ago after flood waters caused a dramatic collapse of part of its elevated embankment in Cheshire.

The Bridgewater canal, which was previously used to transport coal but is now a leisure waterway, caved in near Dunham Massey, in the first major breach of the waterway for 54 years.

Drone footage showed the collapse of the human-made embankment that carries the canal 12 metres (40ft) above the River Bollin. Witnesses said the collapse looked like a bomb had gone off.

Cheshire police evacuated properties after the collapse and a section of the M56 had to be closed.
