AUSTIN (KXAN) — Students at a school in the Oak Hill area in southwest Austin evacuated after a water main break nearby that’s also obstructing traffic.

APD says the call came in around 7:45 a.m., and officers were sent to the corner of Old Bee Caves Road and Travis Cook Road. While police initially said the cause was possibly a sinkhole, Austin Eco Bilingual School confirms it was a water main break. It sent students home for the day.
