No one was injured Monday when a sinkhole in the parking lot of a Hackensack mall swallowed excavation equipment there to fix a water main break, officials said.

Workers were using a backhoe to repair a water main about 2 p.m. in the 300 block of Hackensack when the machine fell in a sinkhole, the Hackensack Fire Department reported on its social media pages.

A photo of the scene showed more than half of the backhoe in the ground.

Officials said the sinkhole was caused by the water main break, which had flooded the lot in the morning.

The parking lot is at the Shops at Riverside Mall. The lot in the area of the sinkhole remained closed on Tuesday.

Officials said no other hazards or utilities that were impacted due to the incident.
