Tractor trailer strikes fire hydrant, water spews into roadway

Posted:
NASHVILLE, Tenn. -

A tractor trailer attempting to pull into a north Nashville business parking lot struck a fire hydrant causing water to shoot into the air and onto the road.

The accident happened around 3:30 a.m. Friday right next to the parking lot of Shred-it on Mainstream Drive.

Police said after the tractor trailer struck the fire hydrant, the driver attempted to back off of it, which caused the water to start gushing.

The tractor trailer was blocking Mainstream Driver for about an hour until a tow truck could remove it from the roadway.

An hour after the truck was removed, Metro Water Services was able to shut the water off and clear up the scene.

No one was injured.
