Garbage truck in sinkhole
A garbage truck was caught sinking through the pavement in a parking lot on Troy-Schenectady Road in Colonie. A crane had to come and lift the truck up so the tire could be freed.
The truck drove off undamaged, but there was a huge hole in the lot. People who live and work nearby say this is only a small incident but it reveals a much bigger problem. They say a pipe that runs underneath the lot from a creek on one side to a creek on the other has collapsed.
