There was some damage to the vehicle, but no injuries were reported in the incident.

Fire officials said the unit was headed to a non-emergency call.

City officials initially thought the cave-in was a possible sinkhole, until officials clarified sand infiltrated a stormwater or wastewater line, causing the cave-in.
