  1. As usual, Supposed authors/reporters: Brown & Melinick, keep repeating the same sentences!! Who caused the horrible crash!! Are they OK?? Is everybody else OK?? Were they arrested for no license,insurance, etc.! Please report the facts!!

  2. I hope this Driver gets fined for all the water wasted. Seems only fair since SCV water are willing to issue $50 fines when my sprinkers hit the side walk

  3. It amazes me with only 1/3 of the people or less driving around, drivers are still able to manage running into the few objects that don’t move.

    • Im a firm believer that people drive like they walk . I think we all know atleast one person who is always falling down or walking into things for no reason LOL

  4. How soon after the collision did the hydrant get broken? Wasn’t it really broken during the collision?
