Leander debates closing low-water crossing with a history of crashes

City council discussed the closure during an Oct. 10 city council meeting. The ordinance that was introduced said the road is "narrow" and in "poor condition."

In 2018, a school bus tried to cross the road during a storm when water was rushing over it. Dashcam video of the bus showed it being swept away. One child and the driver were on board at the time.
