An overturned heavy-duty construction vehicle caused a geyser near State Route 67 Friday.

Lakeside Fire Protection District (LFPD) crews responded to reports of the geyser on Muth Valley Road and found a hydrant knocked off its post and the tractor on its side.

The driver of the tractor was taken to the hospital, according to LFPD.

LFPD said a caller could see the geyser spraying from the SR-67 roadway, which is nearly two miles away.
