The Trumbull County Sanitary Engineer says a burst pipe caused a sinkhole to open in Vienna Township early Wednesday, trapping a garbage truck.

A driver for RHL Disposal parked the truck outside the Dollar General Store on Warren Sharon Road to run into a convenience store.

He came out to find the truck's rear wheels had sunk into the pavement.

A nearby construction crew came to the rescue and used a fork lift to raise the back of the truck out of the hole so it could continue its route.

Boards have been placed over the hole until the pipe can be repaired.
