COTTLE COUNTY, Texas-- The Texas Department of Transportation in Childress closed FM 1038 from CR 485 to CR 489 on Tuesday morning due to a sinkhole.

In a social media post from TxDOT, they originally described the sinkhole to be around 40'x40'x70', but say it has since grown.

TxDOT is advising the public to avoid the area due to unstable ground conditions. They also remind drivers that it is illegal and dangerous to drive around barricades.
