According to the San Diego Public Utilities Department (PUD), a pipe connecting two water mains burst on Bayside Lane sending water gushing through the neighborhood. In some places, the water level reached nearly halfway up the wheels of passing cars. Some homes in the area had water flowing into their garages. SkyRanger 7 saw cars driving through bumper-high waters. Some residents reported seeing a van stuck in what appeared to be a sinkhole on Bayside Lane. NBC 7 obtained pictures and video of the truck with its front end stuck in the hole. The floodwater receded to reveal a large hole in the pavement next to a manhole. The driver told witness Rene Coker it felt like he was driving through sand for a moment before the wheels of his van dipped below the street surface.
