Car Crashes into Fire Hydrant, Floods Kent Apartments

Severe flooding has impacted multiple areas in Sussex, particularly in Littlehampton and Aldwick, due to heavy rainfall and blocked drainage. Emergency services have been deployed to assist residents as roads become inundated, with local officials calling for collaboration between councils and Southern Water to address persistent drainage issues. Meanwhile, in Kent, Washington, a car accident that struck a fire hydrant led to flooding in six apartments at the Appian Way complex, displacing several families. The American Red Cross is providing support to those affected, while the driver responsible fled the scene. Residents reported significant damage to their belongings, with some apartments filled with several inches of water. Local authorities continue to investigate both flooding incidents and seek solutions to prevent future occurrences.
