A large sinkhole opened up in a North Yorkshire road last night.
Stepney Road in Scarborough is shut from the Stepney Drive roundabout through to the junction at Seamer Moor Lane.
North Yorkshire Police said: “It’s thought that a sewer has collapsed exposing a 15-20ft hole in the road surface.
“At the moment it is believed that no properties are at risk. At this stage it’s not known how long the road will be closed for but road users are advised to avoid the area while it’s assessed.”
The Highways Agency have been out to assess the road.
As David Bull quipped on Twitter: “Police are looking into it?”
