A broken sewer main caused a sinkhole to open Sunday in Grand Crossing on the South Side.

The sinkhole, which measured about 10 feet by 30 feet, was first reported about 10 a.m. near 73rd Street and Woodlawn Avenue, according to Chicago Department of Water Management spokeswoman Megan Vidis.

It was caused by a partially-collapsed sewer main, which has since been repaired, Vidis said. The site was secured and no injuries were reported.
