Slayton Ranch Road gives way to floodwaters, stranding Flagstaff school bus

At around 6:20 a.m. Friday morning, a Flagstaff Unified School District school bus was on its way to pick up students when Slayton Ranch Road collapsed.

The bus driver said she was just a few yards away from the very first stop, driving slowly over the icy Doney Park road. She felt the rear end of the bus drop and was immediately startled.

A Flagstaff Unified School District school bus is hoisted into the air from the rear as it is pulled onto a tow truck Friday morning on Slayton Ranch Road in Doney Park. As a result of high flows in the Rio de Flag due to rain and snowmelt, the road collapsed beneath the bus as it was heading to pick up its first group of children.
