Car Lost Control, Hits Fire Hydrant, Sending Water way Up in the Air on Glen Helen Pkwy

DEVORE, CA. (Pain In The Pass) >> An unusual accident took place Friday evening in the north end of San Bernardino and Devore, next to the 15 Freeway, when a sport car driver lost control of the vehicle and crashed into a fire hydrant.

The crash occurred at around 6pm on August 28, 2026 on Glen Helen Parkway between the 15 Freeway and Seirra Avenue. The vehicle involved was reported an orange Dodge Challenger Sports car. The driver at a high rate of speed lost control, spun out and hit a fire hydrant.

According to California Highway Patrol, the impact tore the hydrant from the ground, creating what witnesses described as a spectacular makeshift fountain.

Water shot more than 25 to 50 feet into the air, surprising nearby passersby on the freeway.

A crew from the water department, responded immediately by shutting off the water supply.

The driver reported to have minor injuries, and the vehicle was reported to be totaled.
