A car hit a fire hydrant early Sunday morning, sending a gusher of water into the air and waking up residents.
The accident happened at about 3:40 a.m. near the intersection of Spencer and Alapai streets.
There were no immediate reports of serious injuries.
Laurie Tanoura, who sent a photo of the hydrant to Staradvertiser.com, said the crash woke her up and “sounded like a gunshot.”
