BOURNE, MASS. (WHDH) - A tow truck driver fell into a flooded sinkhole in Bourne while trying to remove a car early Friday morning.

The car had crashed into a fire hydrant on Williams Avenue, causing it to burst and create a sinkhole.

A tow truck driver could be seen attempting to get the car out of the flooded waters and onto a flatbed truck when he accidentally stepped into the sinkhole.

The driver was able to climb out of the 10-foot by 5-foot hole. Police have not said if he suffered any injuries.

The driver of the car was uninjured.

The cause of the crash remains under investigation.

Williams Avenue between MacArthur Boulevard and the entrance to Lily Pond Overlook Condominiums is closed as the Bourne Water District works to repair the damage.
