A giant sinkhole has swallowed the center of a soccer complex in southern Illinois, taking down a large light pole and leaving a gaping chasm, but no injuries were reported.
The hole is estimated to be at least 100 feet wide and up to 50 feet deep, with security video showing a soccer field light pole disappearing into the ground.
The sinkhole resulted from surface subsidence at an underground mine, prompting the closure of the park and surrounding roads indefinitely for inspections and repairs.
