This is the moment children swam in an underpass as water burst from street hydrant in Salford.
The underpass, at the end of Cross Lane and under the Regent Road roundabout, was left flooded yesterday (Thursday) as streams of water erupted from the hydrant on the side of the road. Video footage showed children swimming in the deluge and running around in the water as a heatwave hit our region.
United Utilities said they were called to the scene following a report of 'hydrant abuse'. It is believed the hydrant was burst deliberately.
