Crews clean up after flooding from broken hydrant
Crews in Orange County have been repairing and cleaning up after a truck crashed into a fire hydrant that resulted in flooding.
On Tuesday morning, a pickup truck also collided with a fire hydrant during a crash on East Michigan Street near Conroy Gardens Road, causing a large mess at the Orlando intersection, road closure and flooding inside a home. That area has since reopened.
