An Atlanta garbage truck needed a bit of assistance Wednesday morning after falling into a sinkhole that opened up in the middle of the road.

It happened on English Street near Huff Road. Atlanta Police were called out to the area shortly before 4 a.m. to find the truck in a sinkhole about 2 to 3 feet deep.

A heavy-duty tow truck was brought in to lift the truck up so it could back out of the 10 by 10 feet section of the road.
