Dozens of guests at a Florida resort near Walt Disney World were safely evacuated in the middle of the night on Monday when a three-story building collapsed after a large sinkhole opened on the property's grounds.
A spokesman for the Lake County Fire Department said there were no injuries after staff at the Summer Bay Resort near Orlando responded quickly to sounds of danger at the building.
Security guard Richard Shanley was driving a golf cart down the resort's main boulevard when a family hailed him and told him there was something wrong, that they heard a popping sound.
