Polk County Fire Rescue said a sinkhole opened up in the front yard of a house in a Highland City neighborhood. A Facebook post from PCFR said the sinkhole was about 15 feet wide and 60 feet deep as of 11:22 a.m. In an update Monday afternoon, officials noted that if the sinkhole forces the road closed, people living in 88 homes will not have a way to get home. Officials say the sinkhole doesn't pose an immediate threat to drivers at this time, so the roads in the area remain open. PCFR has said they will continue to monitor the sinkhole closely in the coming days.
