A school bus in Toronto was nearly eaten up by a large sinkhole after the driver passed over it during the morning rush hour on Tuesday.
The incident happened around 9 a.m. in the area of Hillborn Avenue and Symes Road just west of Weston Road and north of St. Clair Avenue West.
Toronto police say no children were on board when the vehicle fell into the three metre wide and two-and-a-half metre deep sinkhole.

A tow truck managed to pull the bus out and no injuries were reported.
City officials said the sinkhole developed as a result of a water main break and approximately 30 to 40 homes in the area are without water.
A city spokesperson said crews are working to excavate the site to determine the exact cause of the damage.
The area is currently closed as workers continue to assess the scene and conduct road repairs.
There’s no indication when the intersection will reopen to traffic.
