Truck Strikes Fire Hydrant in SOMA Causing Street to Flood With Water

A big-rig struck a fire hydrant causing water to burst onto the street in San Francisco’s South of Market neighborhood this afternoon, a fire spokeswoman said.

The truck struck the fire hydrant, located in the 100 block of New Montgomery Street near Mission Street, at about 1:40 p.m., San Francisco fire spokeswoman Mindy Talmadge said.

The intersection remains blocked as fire crews work to shut off the water flowing into the street, according to Talmadge.
