Sinkhole Found at Largo Mall
Firefighters discovered the 10-foot-long sinkhole Friday in the parking lot of the Largo Mall.
A sinkhole was discovered Friday in the Largo Mall parking lot, less than 24 hours after a sinkhole swallowed a man in his Hillsborough County bedroom, the Tampa Bay Times reports.
The sinkhole was about 10 feet long and several feet wide, the newspaper reported, citing Largo Fire Chief Mike Wallace. No one was injured or fell in, and the hole was barricaded, according to the Times.
Thursday night, 36-year-old Jeffrey Bush fell into a sinkhole that opened up beneath his Seffner home as he slept, Brandon Patch reports. He had still not been found Saturday morning.
