Here are the top stories in Colorado Springs today:

1. A sinkhole formed in a Springs neighborhood after a water main broke overnight on Tuesday. One driver found out the hard way when their vehicle fell into the sinkhole just after 3:00 a.m. As of Tuesday, sixteen customers are without water service and a spokesperson with Colorado Springs Utilities estimates repairs will take about eight hours. (KKTV 11 News)
2. A Colorado Springs boy is continuing his tradition of visiting UPS drivers. The tradition started eight years ago when 11-year-old Carson Kight, who was four at the time, had his dream of being a driver come true with a special truck from UPS, thanks to a friendship he built with UPS driver, "Mr. Ernie." Now, Carson comes back to the UPS building off of Emory Circle to deliver treats, a safety tip, and wave the drivers off as they head out on their routes. (KRDO)
3. A dog that was missing for two weeks was rescued from a cliff above Fountain Creek in Colorado Springs. (CBS Denver)
