Lexus vs. Fire Hydrant in Aurora Highlands

A gold-colored Lexus hopped a curb and plowed into a street sign and a fire hydrant around noon today in Aurora Highlands. The fire hydrant won the battle of car vs. stationary object, but the street sign was collateral damage.

The accident happened at 19th Street South and South Kent Street. Police were investigating whether alcohol may have played a role in the crash.
