PHOENIX, Az. (WPVI) -- A city bus made an unscheduled stop in Phoenix, Arizona when a sinkhole swallowed up the back half.

Water gushed out of a broken main, causing the ground to give way.

There were no passengers on board, but a handful of people were stranded at the next stop.

It took several hours to remove the bus.

The intersection will have to be closed through the weekend.
