Huge Nottinghamshire sinkhole caused by collapsed sewer pipe

Nottinghamshire County Council highways staff have closed a road after a large sinkhole opened up. CCTV footage from the scene showed the hole started off small but as multiple cars drove over it, it became gradually larger.

A black Skoda drove into a small hole on Carlton Road, near Worksop's train station, at around 7.45am on Saturday (May 6). By Saturday evening, the hole reached close to the pavement from the centre of the road.

A small section of Carlton Road was closed off by Nottinghamshire Police on Saturday. Now, on Sunday, May 7, the county council has confirmed it's closed the road.
