GOLETA, Calif. - A vehicle turned a fire hydrant into a fountain on a Goleta street corner early Saturday morning.

Santa Barbara County firefighters responded to the crash around 2:20 a.m. on the corner of Colusa and Madera drives.

Upon arriving at the scene, crews found a single vehicle had collided with and sheared off a hydrant.

Water to the area was quickly shut off so repair efforts could take place.

Firefighters contacted the driver and solo occupant in the vehicle and assessed them for minor injuries.
