Sheared Hydrant Gushes Water Outside SoCal Wendy's

Aerial video showed a white car making a U-turn and driving directly underneath the hydrant's waterfall

A sheared fire hydrant sent a geyser of water into the air outside a San Fernando Valley Wendy's drive-thru Thursday.

The water gushed near Tampa Avenue and Sherman Way in Reseda after a car struck the fire hydrant, officials said.

Aerial video showed fire trucks blocking the intersection as water poured into the road. A white car could be seen making a U-turn and driving directly underneath the hydrant's waterfall.

Firefighters stopped the leak just before 11:20 a.m.

Additional details were not immediately clear.
