A sinkhole emerged in an El Cajon neighborhood Saturday night, causing El Cajon police to close off the area through to Monday.

All vehicle traffic is closed from 740 Mundy Terrace to Wyatt Place in El Cajon until Monday, according to El Cajon Police. The agency urged everyone to stay clear of the area.

With the help of an expert, NBC 7's Dave Summers explains the forces of nature that help create sinkholes.

Police assured residents they would still be able to walk to and from their homes.

El Cajon Police, El Cajon Public Works and the Helix Water District all responded to the incident.

The situation comes on the heels of another sizeable sinkhole closing off State Route 78 near Oceanside until Monday.

Crews are still working to repair that sinkhole following last week's storm as another one rolls in on Monday.
