A sinkhole that swallowed a man 100 feet in 2013 reopened on Monday, according to officials. It is the third time the hole has opened.
Hillsborough County officials said that they received a call at around 4:30 p.m. about the sinkhole reopening and fire crews, along with deputies, were called out to the site.
The hole is located on a county conservation property at 240 Faithway Drive in Seffner. The site is closed to the public and secured with two layers of fencing.
Jeffrey Bush, 36, was asleep in his bedroom when the hole opened in 2013. His brother, Jeremy, said it took only seconds to race to his brother's room and jump into the hole, but the dirt was quickly rising to neck level and Jeffrey was nowhere to be seen.
