Another water main problem leads to sinkhole off Garden of the Gods Road
Colorado Springs Utilities responded to a sinkhole on Garden of the Gods Road east of Interstate 25 after a hotel water main broke, officials said.
A water main that feeds the Baymont by Wyndham burst before 1:30 p.m. trapping a vehicle in a sinkhole outside the hotel entrance, Ted Skroback, a spokesman for the agency, said.
A tow truck pulled the vehicle out of the sinkhole and Colorado Springs Utilities shut off water that leads to the hotel’s water main.
BREAKING: A car went into a sinkhole near the East side of I-25 and Garden of the Gods. @CSUtilities tells my this has nothing to do with the pipe break on the other side of I-25.@KKTV11News pic.twitter.com/ouEK1INZf5

Further investigation into the main break will not be conducted by Colorado Springs Utilities because the rupture started on private property, Skroback said.
The rupture is not related to a water main break that flooded Garden of the Gods Road Tuesday. Crews are still continuing repairs on the Garden of the Gods Road water main break.
This is a developing story.
