MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- A water main break in a Parkway Village neighborhood caused a sinkhole to form early Tuesday morning in front of a home on the side of the street.
When WREG crews arrived at the scene on Wooddale Avenue and Perkins Road, water could be seen sprouting out of the ground into a yard on to a parked car.
According to Memphis, Light, Gas, and Water, 30 to 35 customers are impacted.
