Crash shears hydrant, causes flooding in Mid-City
A car crash sheared a hydrant and caused flooding in Mid-City Saturday.
It happened around 7:30 p.m. at S. La Brea Ave. and W. 23rd St. in Los Angeles.
Two cars collided, taking out two power poles, and a street light, sending water from the sheared hydrant gushing into the air. One person suffered minor injuries in the crash.
All lanes of La Brea Avenue were shut down in both directions between 21st Street and the 10 Freeway while the damage was cleared.
The cause of the crash is still under investigation.
