This SUV was swallowed up by the street on the Upper Wet, uh, West Side Monday night when flooding from a water-main break opened a sinkhole.

The main burst at West 89th Street and Amsterdam Avenue at around 9 p.m., the FDNY said.

Crews were able to shut off the water at around 11:30 p.m. and were still repairing the broken main early Tuesday morning.

There were no injuries, but the water accumulated up to six-feet deep in building basements, and several streets had to be blocked off.

The cause of the break was unknown, and the Department of Environmental Protection was investigating.
