ANAHEIM, Calif. (KABC) -- Crews in Anaheim on Thursday morning continued working to repair a large water main whose rupture resulted in a massive sinkhole on a residential street.

A deluge quickly flooded the intersection, prompting utility workers to shut down water service in the immediate area. No nearby residents or business owners reported any flood damage, Faulkenar said.
