Ridgewood NJ, The immediate area surrounding Spring and Van Dien Avenues in Ridgewood was flooded with water on Monday morning (10/06 @ 0945 hours) following an accident in which a HoHoKus driver struck a fire hydrant with his SUV.  Ridgewood PD, FD, and EMS units all responded to the scene.  The driver was uninjured, but his vehicle was towed from the scene by a flatbed tow truck.  The broken hydrant triggered a major water main break; personnel from Ridgewood Water and Ridgewood firefighters struggled with a shutoff valve for more than an hour to bring the leak under control.  Representatives from PSE&G were called to the scene when firefighters detected a strong smell of natural gas in the area.  Four (4) nearby homes were temporarily evacuated while emergency crews checked for any signs of accumulated gas.  The intersection of Spring and Van Dien Avenues will remain closed indefinitely while crews repair the leak(s).
