WOW!!! Nice Picture.
Somehow, I don't feel comfortable in this happening. :faint:

I understand the truck in the hole but wonder why the other one is leaning to the right?

good observation......perhaps the rear end was pushed over somehow when the nose fell in.

Could be a tree came down on it and we can't see it. Looks like it's getting pressure from the top.

Looks like a wide angle lens was used -- the trees lined up beyond the truck are all leaning too. That would distort the image of the hole as well.

I saw several pictures on the news last night taken from different angles. The other truck is leaning to the right because a sink hole opened up under the back tire. There are two separate holes at that location.
There was also a very large sink hole that opened in Ocala at Fore Ranch off of hwy 200.

As I was reading through the thread, the same thought occurred to me. A second sink hole. :22yikes:

I also read the comments under the article... Pretty scary.
I honestly never thought about sinkholes before I bought in FL (completely missed the memo). Hurricanes, tornadoes and lightning strikes all crossed my thoughts, but I completely missed sinkholes....
