Water main break creates big mess in Sherman Oaks neighborhood

SHERMAN OAKS, LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- A massive water main break flooded streets and created a mess in a Sherman Oaks neighborhood Friday afternoon.

AIR7 HD was over the area of Matilija Avenue and Hartsook Street just before 4:20 p.m. after the break was reported.

Water from the main break flowed down the street for several blocks, but a couple of motorists were still seen driving in the area. No water appeared to have immediately touched driveways or homes in the area.

Crews were working to shut down the water main.
