PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) — An SUV was swallowed by a sinkhole in the Port Richmond section of Philadelphia on Tuesday.

The sinkhole opened up on the 2700 block of E. Birch Street around 1:30 p.m.

Video from Chopper 6 showed the Chevy inside the sinkhole, with only the front end above street level.

“I got a call from my wife, she said something happened outside the house,” said the SUV’s owner, Steve Williams. “I came home a little early, I get home, I pull up, and lo and behold her vehicle is in a sinkhole.”

Williams, a Philadelphia police officer, is taking it all in stride.

“I’ve been a police officer 32 years. I’ve seen it all, no big deal,” he said. “As long as nobody was hurt, nobody was injured, nobody lost their life. It’s property damage, it’s a vehicle, you just go from there.”

Meanwhile, the front end of a white Mazda was left dangling over the edge. Neighbors say the owner of that car is out of town.

“I’ve been here 60 years I’ve never seen anything like this,” said Maggie Razzi.

At least one pipe could be seen leaking water inside the sinkhole.

Neighbors say there was no gushing water and no one’s basement flooded. However, the water company has shut off service to about 30 homes while they make repairs.

Razzi wondered if construction on a home on the block contributed to the collapse among these old homes and aging infrastructure.

“For the last two weeks my house has been shaking. It’s been so loud. I wasn’t shocked,” she said.

The white Mazda was towed fairly easily, but the SUV remained underground and upright all evening as crews ensured the site was safe for removal.

It’s going to require a much larger tow truck and some rigging to recover the SUV.

It’s unclear how long it will take for repairs to be made.

No injuries have been reported.
