A ruptured water main contributed to opening a large sinkhole on Monument Street in Winslow as tires on several vehicles fell victim to the crater, police said.

The hole, three to four feet deep, was created by a broken water line on Clinton Avenue. “I couldn’t believe it when I hit that,” Rancourt said while waiting for a tow truck. Fongemie said at least six vehicles hit the hole, leaving several with flat tires. The street was closed to traffic Wednesday afternoon while crews from Kennebec Water District repaired the broken pipe. Staff photo by David Leaming
