<\/p>\nNeighbors in Pittsburgh’s Mount Washington neighborhood, at the intersection of Boggs Avenue and Muskego Way, were woken up Tuesday after they say a dump truck carrying stone or gravel was backing down a steep hill and got stuck on its side after falling into a hole.<\/p>\n
Neighbors say the hole was about 10 to 15 feet deep and was formed from ongoing construction by the water department.<\/p>\n
As of Tuesday morning, asphalt has been placed, and construction equipment remains at the location for what neighbors say has been days’ worth of work for a water break. \u00a0<\/p>\n
Max Kelley was in the neighboring house to the scene; he says he and his girlfriend were renting an Airbnb for a few days while visiting from Rochester, New York.<\/p>\n
“Just constant clanking and banging, vibrating sounds, and the house shaking, and we’re like, ‘Ugh, whatever,'” said Max Kelley.<\/p>\n

While Kelley says they have had some water issues over the past few days and knew construction was going on, they had no idea a truck would fall over.<\/p>\n
“Yeah, I had no idea what was going on outside the window,” said Kelley. <\/p>\n
Just down the street, another neighbor recounted his night.<\/p>\n
“I walked out and looked up the hill and said, ‘I guess I am not going to work tonight,'” said neighbor Michael Jones. “You see how sheer that is if you’re coming down backwards with a lot of gravel, that’s a lot of weight.”<\/p>\n
Jones says he is very thankful that no one got hurt, and luckily, the hole stopped the truck from plowing into nearby homes.<\/p>\n
“I said, ‘Wow, it could’ve been a lot worse if he didn’t hit that hole.’ I was wondering, ‘Man, would it have gone through my house while I was sleeping?’ Who knows where that truck could’ve went the way it came down,” said Jones.<\/p>\n
Pittsburgh Water said in a statement to KDKA-TV that they are “taking this event seriously” as they “work to understand what happened and how to prevent similar incidents in the future.”<\/p>\n
The organization confirmed that no one was injured and water service was restored to that area around 11 p.m. Monday.<\/p>\n
