Disruption in Sheffield city centre over 'burst water main'

This was the scene on a busy Sheffield street this evening, as what appeared to be a burst water main sent water pouring in the the street.

The photo and video were taken on Tenter Street just after 5.30pm this evening.

Eyewitnesses described water running all the way down to the Dutch roundabout, and motorists trying to avoid driving through the water, which appeared to have moved solid material into the road.

Yorkshire Water and Sheffield Council have been contacted for more information.
