Sinkhole Discovered In St Joseph Between Two Businesses

(ST. JOSEPH, MO) – A sinkhole was discovered in St Joe between two businesses This past weekend.

Around 2 A.M. Saturday a delivery driver for Aldi was completing a delivery, when the ground beneath his 18-wheeler collapsed.

The sinkhole that is estimated to be 15-20 feet in depth, is located to between Dick’s Sporting Goods and PetSmart.

The city’s public works department has the belief that the cause of the sinkhole is from a leakage in a storm drain in the area.
