Video from the scene shows the right rear wheel of the bus caught in the hole. CBS News New York has been told there were cones around the hole at the time.

Thirty kids were on board and all were able to exit the bus on their own, according to the FDNY. One person on board suffered a minor injury, but it was not immediately clear if that was an adult or child.

The Department of Environmental Protection is investigating.

It's not the only sinkhole-related issue in New York City Wednesday. At LaGuardia Airport, a sinkhole was found near one of the runways, forcing that runway to shut down for emergency repairs.
