From Times Wire Reports
A sinkhole opened beneath a road in central Florida, swallowing four lanes of pavement and forcing evacuation from 20 homes.
Officials had been watching the hole since Monday after noticing collapsed asphalt on a Deltona street. Workers were pumping a cement mixture under the damaged road when the hole formed. The ground opened up, destroying all four lanes.
The hole, which grew to 50 feet deep, has not stabilized.
