WOBURN, MA — A water main break caused a sinkhole to open up in the middle of Forest Park Road early Tuesday morning. Water also flooded nearby streets and homes.

Woburn resident Todd Symonds said it was a rude awakening at his house on Boyd Road.

“My son woke me up at about one in the morning and said, ‘Dad there’s a river going down our street,’” he told WBZ-TV. “The water went into my backyard, wrapped around my house into the bulkhead and splashed down to my basement.”
