Large sinkhole limits access to South Strabane business plaza

SOUTH STRABANE, Pa. — Access to some South Strabane businesses is currently limited because of a massive sinkhole.

The South Strabane Fire Department says the large sinkhole formed because of flood waters on Saturday.

The sinkhole is blocking access to Oak Spring Plaza. The Eat’n Park in that plaza is also temporarily closed, as gas and water is shut off in the area.

When our crew got on scene on Sunday afternoon, crews were on scene assessing the damage. An official on scene told us it could take a week for the sinkhole to be fixed.
