Motorist on the run after shearing hydrant, causing geyser in L.A. neighborhood
Police are searching for a hit-and-run driver who fled the scene after shearing a fire hydrant in the Tarzana neighborhood of Los Angeles early Tuesday morning.
The solo-vehicle crash was reported in the 6100 block of Reseda Boulevard just after 2 a.m., a Los Angeles Police Department spokesperson confirmed at the scene.
Video showed a black four-door vehicle went over a curb for unknown reasons and struck the hydrant, causing water to shoot several feet in the air.
The driver fled on foot after the crash and remained on the loose, police said during the investigation.
Water was seen streaming down the road as Los Angeles Department of Water and Power crews at the scene worked to turn a shut-off valve.
No injuries were reported in the incident.
