A sinkhole collapsed within the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Ky., this morning, damaging eight Corvettes, including two on loan from General Motors, the museum reports.

“We received a call at 5:44 a.m. from our security company alerting us of our motion detectors going off in our Skydome area of the museum,” a statement says. “Upon arrival it was discovered that a sinkhole had collapsed within the museum.”

The museum says the sinkhole is 40 feet across and 25-30 feet deep. No one was in or around the museum at the time.
