HOBOKEN — A water main break in Hoboken flooded basements and damaged vehicles, according to a report on WABC-7's website.

The break occurred on Willow Avenue near 8th Street around 3 a.m and caused water to fill the road. Although the line was capped around 5 a.m., cars were submerged and water entered basements of some homes in the area, the report said.

Willow Avenue is closed at 9th Street and 8th Street is closed at Park Avenue.

The city says residents on Willow Avenue between 8th and 9th Streets are expected to be without water service until repairs are completed.

New Jersey Transit buses that travel along Willow Street will likely have to be re-routed. As of 6 a.m. the NJ Transit website made no mention of route changes, though.

A vehicle fell into a sinkhole that formed and authorities were towing other cars in case the street further caved in, WABC-7 said. The water began to recede when the line was capped.
