A potentially dangerous situation was averted at a playground inside a townhouse complex in Vaughan, as no injuries were reported after a sinkhole developed on the premises.
According to authorities, the incident occurred on Monday afternoon at the playground located within the townhouse complex on Dufferin Street, near Rutherford Road. The sinkhole, which measured approximately 10 feet in diameter, was discovered by residents who immediately alerted the authorities.
