Orange County Fire Authority crews received a call about a crash around 6:30 p.m. at Jeronimo Road and Heidi Avenue.
"Engines 19 and 222, Truck 20, and Battalion 9 responded to the intersection to find a two vehicle traffic collision with a sheared fire hydrant with a car suspended from the significant pressure," read a post on OCFA's X account. "Fortunately, both drivers managed to escape their vehicles before the high-pressure spectacle began."
Firefighters eventually got the water under control, lowering the suspended car back down. One driver was taken to a local hospital, but no serious injuries were reported.
