A sinkhole opened up on one of the busiest roads through Bradford city centre on Tuesday afternoon, causing rush hour traffic chaos.
Now Telegraph & Argus reporter Brad Deas has gone along to look into it.

Bradford Council warned of significant disruption shortly before 5pm yesterday, and drivers have endured huge tailbacks on Tuesday night and Wednesday morning. Motorists were advised to avoid the area.
When the T&A visited the scene this morning, traffic had subsided and was moving more freely, but a large part of the road between Leeds Road and Barkerend Road remains shut. One section of the road is down to one lane.
While there were lots of cones in the road, the sinkhole causing all the problems wasn't immediately obvious.
Upon further inspection of the road's surface a small hole could be spotted, not large enough to get a hand in.
The hole looked to open up into a larger area under the tarmac.
