TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) – A vehicle hit a fire hydrant early Wednesday morning which sent water spewing everywhere and closed sections of two busy Tampa roads.
The crash happened Wednesday morning and impacts Westshore and Gandy boulevards.
The eastbound lane on Gandy Boulevard that turns south onto Westshore Boulevard and southbound lanes on West Shore at Gandy are closed while Tampa Water Department crews repair the water main break.
