A portion of the K-mart parking lot in St. Albans is blocked off after a sinkhole was reported early Tuesday morning.

According to a news release, the sinkhole is at least five feet deep and about six feet in width.

St. Albans Police say a woman’s car nearly fell in it, but no one was hurt.

The property manager of the St. Albans Mall has been notified of the problem. Right now, the area around the sinkhole is blocked with caution tape to alert drivers of the situation.
