A  car slid into a fire hydrant at Montreal and Moss avenues in South Lake Tahoe on Sunday afternoon.

There were no injuries in the Dec. 3 crash.

However, water ended up running down Moss to Pioneer Trail before South Lake Tahoe Public Utility District was able to turn off the water.

South Tahoe fire crews helped to clear the storm drains.

Roads in the region were slick with the overnight snow that fell on top of the rain-soaked streets. Temps kept the roads icy for the better part of the day, with the less traveled streets still potentially dangerous.
