KAHULUI, Hawaii (KHON2) -- A sinkhole opened up in Kahului while crews were making repairs to a 12-inch main break.
The sinkhole caught the rear tires of a bus as the driver drove through pooling water that concealed the sinkhole, which at the time was small.
"The hole grew to approximately 15-by-30-feet wide and 5-feet deep by the end of the evening due to water pressure and digging, according to County Department of Water Supply (DWS)," Maui County stated in a news release.
The waterline was repaired while roads were closed through the afternoon and into the night.
The bus was extracted from the hole and driven to the base yard for minor repairs.
The passengers and driver were able to safely exit the bus and no injuries were reported at the time.
