A fire hydrant that was knocked over in the 3100 block of Foothill Boulevard this afternoon snarled traffic when all lanes were flooded.

According to Lt. Sachs of the CV Sheriff’s Station, at 2:05 p.m. a white delivery truck hit the hydrant, knocking it over and causing a column of water to flood all four lanes of traffic along Foothill Boulevard. The fire department and CHP have since cleaned it up and traffic is moving again.
