A large sinkhole opened Tuesday at Nicolas Cage's beachside home in Malibu. The driveway collapsed. The hole continued to grow. Emergency crews responded to the scene. The $10.5 million coastal mansion was evacuated. Local authorities were called in because the hole was growing larger. They believe coastal erosion caused it. As the sinkhole grew further, everyone had to evacuate. Malibu officials are now investigating the incident.
The property sits in a coastal area that erodes easily. The ground gave way beneath the driveway. The hole continued to expand. The house is close to the water. That stretch of coast has known erosion problems.
