The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office has released an aerial video of the sinkhole that opened up Wednesday in Seffner.

The hole at 240 Faithway Drive is estimated to be about 17 feet wide and 20 feet deep. It is in the same location where Jeffrey Bush, 36, was killed in 2013 when a sinkhole opened up under his home.

Bush, 36, was asleep in bed around 11 p.m. Feb. 28, 2013, when the ground opened up beneath his home and swallowed him, Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Larry McKinnon said at the time.

“It’s a movie scene behind there,” said McKinnon. “That’s what it is.”

McKinnon said Bush’s mother was asleep in another room when she heard a loud crunching sound. When she rushed to her son’s room, she saw that the entire floor had caved in and her son was gone.

An extensive search was conducted for Bush, but his body was never recovered.

Further information is not yet available about the latest occurrence at 240 Faithway Drive.
