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.

Naples Police told CNN that the "magistrate has appointed a technical expert to ascertain the causes of the collapse, which could be due to water infiltration given the heavy rains of the last two weeks."

"The early-morning hypothesis that it was an explosion has been dismissed. No injured or victims," the police added.

The regional governor, Vincenzo De Luca, said the residence would reopen within days after electricity and water service were restored.
