Moving truck stuck in East Seventh Street sinkhole

We heard reports late this morning about police activity on East Seventh Street between First Avenue and Second Avenue... including the presence of crime-scene tape...

Turns out that it's for this moving truck, whose rear wheel got lodged in a sinkhole (or, perhaps, caused the sinkhole...)

Thanks to EVG reader @Knickerbock4Lif for the early accounts and these photos...

And not the first time a moving truck has been nearly swallowed by a sinkhole in the East Village.

Now the scientists (nypd and conEd) are filling the sinkholes with water. Cause nothing stops erosion like rushing, flooding water.

I was passing by and some old guy was lying nearby, in the middle of the road--somehow he got injured as well---not clear how but a cop was getting help for him.
