Last night Ladyville Police responded to reports, not of a criminal on the loose or a raging fire, but of a suddenly appearing sinkhole in the middle of the highway by Gardenia Village. Police set up cones and manned the area to warn oncoming vehicles about the danger of the hole in the highway. Works crews were activated and worked into the night to repair a broken culvert and cover the hole. Ruptured culverts are not uncommon after heavy rains such as the type we've been seeing in November.
