At approximately 2:00 am on January 4, 2025, a single-vehicle crash occurred at Soto & Valley in Boyle Heights, CA. The vehicle struck a high-powered hydrant, causing water to shoot 100 feet into the air. At least one person was transported from the scene, with initial reports suggesting the crash could have been fatal. However, LAFD successfully transported the individual. Live wires were also hit by the water spray, prompting a response from the Department of Water and Power (DWP) to shut off the water and possibly the power supply to prevent further hazards.
