PHOENIX — A woman was in critical condition after a crash that reportedly caused a sinkhole to open up in Phoenix on Tuesday morning, authorities said.

The crash occurred on 75th Avenue south of Thomas Road, at an entrance to Desert Sky Mall, according to the Phoenix Police Department.

A woman was taken to a hospital after the collision, which took out a fire hydrant, police said. No other injuries were reported.

Images from ABC15 Arizona showed one car submerged in a water-filled sinkhole and another vehicle with a damaged front.
