A 20-foot wide sinkhole trapped a truck travelling in the west end Friday evening.

The sinkhole developed at Morningside Avenue near South Kingsway around 5 p.m.

At one point, a truck became stuck in the hole and had to be lifted out by a tow truck.

Police have closed Morningside Avenue in both directions while city crews assess the damage and begin reparations.

The closure will last for hours at least, authorities said.
