On a peaceful Sunday in a Centennial neighborhood, chaos erupted when a water main broke and sent a powerful jet of water soaring 15 feet into the sky. Along with this unexpected geyser, a sinkhole measuring 12 feet in diameter opened up, shocking residents and authorities alike. The Arapahoe County Sheriff's Office was quick to respond to the scene near the 4300 block of East Hinsdale Place, arriving at 12:11 p.m. to assess the situation.
As Sheriff deputies arrived at the scene, they were met with a surprising sight. The broken water main had caused such a force that it created a sinkhole in the middle of the road. The water was shooting up into the air, reaching heights of 15 feet, in a residential neighborhood. The cause of the breakage is still unknown, but authorities are working tirelessly to determine what caused the 8-inch pipe to burst. The Arapahoe Sheriff's Office shared a photo on social media, showing the powerful stream of water and the damaged road.
Denver Water crews have also joined in on the efforts, working to put a temporary patch on the broken line. However, this process could take up to six hours, according to the agency. The exact cause of the break is still being investigated by the crews. In the meantime, the intersection of East Hinsdale Place and South Clermont Drive has been closed off for safety reasons. This means that residents in the area may be without water for an undetermined amount of time.
This is not the first time such a situation has occurred, and unfortunately, it may not be the last. As we wait for more updates on the situation, it is important to remember to stay safe and vigilant. In other news, there have been multiple incidents of crime and public safety concerns in the area. Just this morning, there was a shooting in Aurora that left three people injured. Another incident involved a rollover crash on Interstate 70 near Eisenhower Tunnel, causing injuries to two people. These events serve as a reminder to always be aware of your surroundings and stay informed.
In addition, there has been a recent lawsuit against RTD after a commuter train crashed into and killed a bicyclist. The investigation has shown that the cause of the crash may have been a student pilot's flight lesson. This just goes to show the importance of proper training and safety precautions. And in yet another incident, a motorcycle crash on Smoky Hill Road in Aurora resulted in one fatality. These events are a harsh reminder of the fragility of life and the need to always prioritize safety.
