A large sinkhole caused part of a Florida home to collapse into the ground Tuesday, and part of the destruction was caught on camera.
The residents originally noticed a small crack in a wall of their home on Monday evening, reported central Florida’s WESH 2 News. By Tuesday morning, an entire part of the home collapsed into to the apparent sinkhole. A rescue crew was called in to help the family at 8:22 a.m., ABC-affiliate WFTV Channel 9 noted. The sinkhole was approximately 25 by 15 feet.
