A water main break left a massive sinkhole in the middle of a neighborhood road in Fairfax, Virginia.
Chopper4 footage shows the sinkhole is the size of at least five mid-sized cars.
A resident saw the beginning of the sinkhole overnight and warned his neighbors to move their cars.
A water main break occurred in the 4500 block of Twinbrook Road and caused the sinkhole, police said.
