School bus falls in sinkhole after Benton Harbor water main break

A water main break in Benton Harbor weakened the street and led to a sinkhole, into which a school bus fell Friday.

No one was hurt as a result, according to Benton Harbor Mayor Marcus Muhammad, who

with photos from the incident.

Muhammad said in the post the street is blocked off for now and "emergency funds from the City Income Tax will be used to repair the damage."

The Bus that was caught in the sink hole was towed away. Thank God there was no injuries. The cause of the sink hole was that a water main broke under the road which weakened the street and caused it to collapse. Emergency funds from the City Income Tax will be used to repair the damage. The street is blocked off and staff is working to restore water for residents impacted by this circumstance. Please share this information. #GodsHand Marcus Muhammad Mayor City of Benton Harbor
