At some point, the street collapsed and the vehicle fell in.
The vehicle, which likely suffered front end damage, was removed from the hole.
Additionally, one house lost utility service, but it was expected to have service restored by Thursday evening.
A spokesperson for the NYC DDC said the department is tunneling and building a sewer line 60-feet below ground in the area.
Construction on the 3,000-feet long sewer line began nearly three months ago.

There was no construction Thursday due to the Thanksgiving holiday, however, the DDC is looking into whether the construction caused the sinkhole.
