WCAU-TV reports that the hole appeared in a street in the Logan neighborhood near Einstein Medical Center on Sunday morning when water currents shot into the air from the main fault.
The SUV does not appear to be causing major damage, but the driver’s condition is not immediately known.
The Philadelphia Department of Water Affairs said crews responded and were able to isolate the 12-inch main outage and stop the flow.
They said an unoccupied vehicle was being removed to allow repairs to begin.
One residential building was reported without water.
