March 01, 2013 22:47

A US man lying in his bed was swallowed up by a gaping sink hole that opened up under his room in a Florida town, officials said today. The yawning chasm opened up overnight as Jeff Bush, 36, slept in his bedroom sucking him into the hole at the home, where several other family members escaped uninjured.

"I heard a loud crash like a car coming through the house and I heard my brother screaming," said Jeremy Bush, who said through tears that he tried in vain to rescue his brother. "All I seen was this big hole, real big hole and all I seen was his mattress," said Bush, who recounted how he jumped into the hole and started digging frantically.
