A 12-inch water main break flooded streets in Hoboken early Tuesday, forcing road closures and bus diversions as some vehicles got stuck.
Footage from Chopper 4 showed water gushing from the street, stranding some cars as crews worked nearby.
According to Veolia Water NJ, it appears the main break on Clinton between Fifth and Sixth streets. The utility said its personnel were on site to isolate the damaged main, which would restore water pressure elsewhere in the system.
No boil water advisory is in effect.
