After large sinkhole on west side prompts road closure, pipe now replaced

The sinkhole was at Culebra and General McMullen, near St. Mary's University.

SAN ANTONIO — Crews worked to patch up a large sink hole that appeared Monday morning on the west side of San Antonio.

The sinkhole was at Culebra and General McMullen, near St. Mary's University.

San Antonio police say the sinkhole was caused by a storm drain collapse. Police say a car was following a dump truck and went into the hole, then bounced back out of it.

There are no injuries or damage to vehicles reported from this situation.

Now on Tuesday, District 7's Rosie Castro tweeted that the public works department worked overnight to make the repairs, and the 48 inch storm drain pipe has been replaced.
