Original post
A sinkhole has opened up on Moseby Court in Manassas Park following torrential rain today. The neighborhood is located just off Manassas Drive.
To get into the neighborhood, residents must cross over a tributary to the Bull Run. That stream overflowed its banks early this morning.
For your safety awareness: ?Flooding / Road Hazard?
Due to the torrential rains that passed through the city this morning, Moseby Court has been comprised and collapsed. Crews are on the scene.
Updates will be released when information becomes available.— City of Manassas Park (@ManassasParkGov) August 12, 2020
Multiple residents who live in townhomes on Moseby Court are trapped behind the sinkhole, unable to move their cars. We’ve asked the Manassas Park City Manager for more information on the response to this situation, and what the city is doing to help those trapped.
