Accident Causes Geyser in La Jollla

A pickup slammed into a fire hydrant in La Jolla early Tuesday, causing a massive geyser that shot up higher than a nearby two-story home, police said.

The crash at Soledad Avenue and Crespo Drive was reported about 12:20 a.m., according to San Diego police Officer Dino Delimitros.

The driver and possibly other occupants of the pickup abandoned the vehicle and were no where to be found when officers arrived, he said. No injuries were reported.
