Hotel evacuated after water main breaks

PITTSBURGH — Employees and guests at a Pittsburgh-area Holiday Inn have been evacuated due to a water main break.

The burst pipe early this morning was in the Holiday Inn in Braddock Hills, a town about 10 miles east of Pittsburgh.

Fire officials say a five-inch pipe in the sprinkler system above the 11th floor burst. Within an hour, water was flowing through the lobby.
