FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. — A school bus in Flagstaff nearly fell into a sinkhole early Friday morning, pictures from the scene show.
The pitcures, shared on the 12News Weather Watchers Page and by the Coconino County Sheriff's Office, show a sinkhole opening up on the back half of the bus driving on Slayton Ranch Road near Doney Park. The bus sat precariously with its back tire over rapidly moving water.
Deputies confirmed the bus is stuck over the hole, but it didn't have any children on board. The only occupant was the bus driver.
Authorities are unaware of the exact size of the sinkhole.
"Slayton Ranch Road has been closed indefinitely while the situation is assessed by Flagstaff Unified School District and Coconino County officials," the school district said.
There were no injuries reported at the scene.
