LEHIGH COUNTY, Pa. (CBS) -- An Allentown street is a wet mess after a massive water main break flooded the area. A 36-inch main broke before sunrise Sunday on Devonshire Road sending water gushing down the street.

The break caused a large section of the road to collapse and it's expected to be closed for a while for repairs.
