DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- A violent two-car crash sheared a fire hydrant Friday morning at an intersection in downtown Los Angeles, flooding the street as first responders and a utility crew arrived at the scene.
The collision happened shortly after 5 a.m. at Broadway and Third Street, where one vehicle apparently sideswiped the other. The car with passenger-side damage ended up on top of the surging gusher after toppling the hydrant.

Water shot up into the air as a towing crew pulled one of the mangled vehicles off the geyser. A worker then backed a utility truck onto the spouting water.
