The crater outside a hospital in Naples brought down trees and forced evacuation of nearby homes.

A massive sinkhole opened in southern Italy on Friday, swallowing at least three cars and briefly cutting power at nearby hospital, authorities said.

Neighborhood homes, including one for recovering Covid-19 patients, were evacuated but there appeared to be no injures caused by the crater in Naples, officials said.

The Covid-19 residence housed six patients and they've been relocated, authorities said.

The sinkhole opened under the largely empty visitors parking lot of Hospital of the Sea. Electricity and water service were briefly interrupted, but backup systems allowed operations to continue.
