This Sinkhole Swallowed More Than A Dozen Cars In Florence, Italy



A sinkhole gave way in Florence, Italy's historic district, causing more than a dozen cars to slide into the ditch, which is up to 22 feet deep in some spots.

The local fire department said a burst pipe caused the hole and that water had to be temporarily shut off in the area.

Local media report the broken pipe had flooded the streets the night before.

The hole is near the Arno River and the UNESCO heritage protected bridge, Ponte Vecchio.
