The incident was reported about 4:30 a.m. in the 1000 block of Bayside Drive, according to the Newport Beach Police Department.

Dirt and debris covered about 50 feet of Bayside Drive, just east of Jamboree Road. Bayside is expected to be closed between Jamboree and El Paseo Street until about noon, police said.

Officials shut off the water in the area after the main break, but it is unclear how the break occurred.

Crews began working on cleaning up the area.
