One person was hospitalized after a car hit a fire hydrant at the intersection of Walnut and Home Drive in Ridgewood Heights this afternoon, a CHP incident report states.

The crash unleashed a fountain of water, which prompted Humboldt County Public Works to respond to the scene.

A photo of the scene sent in by Outpost reader Guri Andermann, shows that the car may have also crashed through the wooden fence of a nearby home.

According to the CHP incident report, the injured person was taken to St. Joseph Hospital in Eureka.
