Matehuala street closure following large sinkhole
A large sinkhole has opened on Jaime Nuno Street in Matehuala, causing the pavement to collapse. The incident occurred between Hidalgo and Juárez streets in the central area. Authorities believe the hole was caused by a water leak in the area.
To prevent vehicular accidents or further damage, the street has been closed to traffic. Personnel from SAPSAM arrived at the scene to inspect the site and begin repairs to stop the leak and stabilize the area. Local reports suggest that aging pipes have led to multiple sinkholes in the city, highlighting a need for modernization of the local water network.
