Broken pipe sends geyser of water into air in Hillcrest, shuts down freeway ramp [Breaking]
A broken pipeline at a Hillcrest commercial center sent a geyser of water surging 50 to 60 feet into the air for the better part of an hour Tuesday morning, turning part of a parking lot into a temporary lake and causing a mudslide that forced the closure of a freeway exit.
The flooding began shortly before 7:30 a.m., when a driver in a big rig accidentally ran over a hydrant near a loading dock at a Ralph’s store on University Avenue near 10th Avenue, according to the San Diego Police Department. Video footage posted by OnSceneTV showed two firefighters trudging and crawling through water several feet deep while trying to find a shut-off valve for the ruptured pipe.It took about 45 minutes to get the overflow under control, police said.
The mess prompted a closure of the connector until crews could clean up the roadway, the California Highway Patrol reported.
