Cars Are Getting Stuck On A Flooded Road In Mississauaga & It's Causing Sinkholes (VIDEO)

Drivers in Mississauga are facing major problems after a watermain break caused a section of a street to be heavily flooded.

The issue was first reported on Lakeshore Road just before 6:00 p.m., Thursday, where the water had quickly become deep enough to leave some drivers stuck and their vehicles halfway submerged.

Peel Regional Police (PRP) reported the flooding between Lorne Park Road and Mississauga Road and closed the area as crews arrived on the scene to fix the problem.

While no injuries have been reported, it's clear some drivers hopeful they could still make it through the deep water found themselves in quite the situation.

In a video posted by PRP, two vehicles (a BMW and a Mercedes) looked stuck, with water up to the top of their tires.

Crews could be seen walking next to one of those vehicles in water that was knee-deep.

Other drivers were smart in deciding it wasn't worth the risk.

"I don't know, we'll see if we can make it, it looks kind of flooded," said one driver, in a video posted to Twitter by someone named Alan, as they approached the flooded stretch of the road when it was still open to traffic. "Oh jeez, I think I need to go the other way, I'm not going to go through that," he said.

His decision was much to the displeasure of the other people in the vehicle, as a kid could be heard shouting in the back, "we need to go home!"

"It's going to break the car. I can't," the driver said. A wise move, indeed.

Shortly before 10:00 p.m., Thursday, PRP had confirmed water in the area was shut off and that the roadway would be closed overnight so crews could "make repairs and clear the road."

The closed area was shortened at around midnight, affecting Lakeshore Road between Lorne Park Road and Ibar Way, which is still a stretch of about 600 metres.

Police have said they expect that area to be closed to traffic until about 5:00 p.m., Friday.

A likely reason for the nearly 24-hour closure is heavy flooding has led to the "presence of sinkholes" "are now forming," according to police.

This isn't the only issue caused by a consistent stretch of rare January rain, as another watermain break in Mississauga was also reported on Friday morning.

Warmer and less rainy conditions are expected for the GTA throughout the weekend.
