My daughter went on a school field trip this morning to learn about public transportation safety.
But they had to turn back because a water pipe broke and flooded the street outside the train station.

I am 36 years removed from my nodding acquaintance with the German language but the word “verschluckt” didn’t really require translation since it was right behind the word for street. It seems somewhat akin to the GI German word “gefukt”, as in all traffic is totally screwed up in that area.
