CHAMBLEE, Ga. -
A car crash shot water into the air and flooded a busy DeKalb County roadway Thursday morning forcing it to close.
It happened just before 6 a.m. Thursday in the 4600 block of Buford Highway in between Dresden Drive and Chamblee Tucker Road.
Officials say a car sheared off a fire hydrant on the side of the road at the location shooting water into the air and flooding the roadway.
It took a couple of hours for emergency crews to shut the water off to the main. The road was closed for about three hours while they worked to clear the scene.
