Vehicle vs Hydrant

My EMT partner Emilio and I ran this call this morning...The driver of a Ford 15 passenger van reportedly fell asleep at the wheel, ran off the road and struck a fire hydrant, knocking it off its base sending water about 30' into the air and flooding the street with about 5" of water in some places. Upon our arrival the driver denied any injuries and his van suffered only a flat tire. There were no passengers or other vehicles involved in the incident.
