WATCH: Excavator falls into hole at Denver-area construction site, causes water main break

WHEAT RIDGE, Colo. (KKTV) - A Denver-area construction site had its own geyser Tuesday morning after an excavator tumbled into a hole and broke a water main.

Wadsworth was closed at 40th Avenue for about three hours while the Colorado Department of Transportation assessed whether any erosion had occurred underneath the road. It was later deemed safe and cleared for the open commute.

Videos tweeted by the Wheat Ridge Police Department showed the crazy scene:

Police say crews are still working on repairs but that the gushing geyser has dwindled down:

Here’s what it looked like at its worst. But @ColoradoDOT says Wadsworth wasn’t damaged by the water main break. Still— right NB lane closed this morning around 40th so construction crews can work on repairs. Fortunately water is no longer spraying like this. pic.twitter.com/6rN7DwVLQu
