Heavy flooding causes sinkhole, closes Clovis Avenue in Fresno, officials say
Heavy flooding Monday morning caused a large sinkhole to form on Clovis Avenue in Fresno, forcing the closure of the southbound lanes between Butler Avenue and Columbia Drive. The California Highway Patrol said the flooding was caused by a ruptured water main on Clovis Avenue, south of Butler Avenue. Some neighborhoods reported up to 3 feet of standing water, prompting officials to shut down the roadway. CHP officers were called to the scene after a large sinkhole began forming in front of two homes. Public Works and Fresno County Roads personnel are also working at the scene. Fresno resident Marko Lentz said Fresno County sheriff’s deputies arrived around 1:30 a.m. with their sirens on, initially leading him to believe there was a fire.
