Cars continue to drive through a water spout being caused by a broken main in New Castle, Delaware, Wednesday morning.
A broken water main sent water shooting into the air along a New Castle County, Delaware, roadway during the Wednesday morning commute.
The break took place along Route 40, near Wilton Boulevard, in New Castle around 5 a.m., DelDOT said.
As SkyForce10 hovered overhead around 6:40 a.m., water could be seen shooting into the air as eastbound drivers drove through it along the shoulder.
More than 30 minutes later, drivers -- including a school bus and transit bus -- could be seen slowly moving past the pouring water as a work struck blocked some of the roadway.
