Tampa, Fla.
A growing sinkhole (video below) has swallowed a car and forced 11 families to evacuate a building near the University of South Florida.

Hillsborough County Fire Rescue says the sinkhole measures about 20 feet wide and 10 feet deep. Residents called authorities early Sunday when they noticed the hole in the parking lot next to their building.

No injuries were reported.

Fire Rescue Chief Frank Fernandez says the hole continues to grow.

Toyota recalls more vehicles due to a glitch that causes them to fall into sinkholes.

no, no, no! Toyota's sudden acceleration is causing the tires to melt the asphalt; causing sinkholes!!
