Jersey City Fire Truck Stuck in Sinkhole: MyFoxNY.com

Thursday, February 3, 2011 A Jersey City fire truck got stuck in a sinkhole Thursday afternoon, authorities said.

Video from SkyFoxHD showed a truck from Ladder 8 with its  left rear tires fallen into a sinkhole at the intersection of Garfield Avenue and Linden Avenue.

Crews taped off the intersection until the truck could be freed.

It was not immediately known if the truck was on an emergency call when it got stuck.

Something very similar happened about two years ago: on February 1, 2009, a Jersey City fire truck got stuck in a much larger sinkhole on Linden Avenue.
