Evacuations over after car hits gas line
Residents in one north city neighborhood are back in their homes after a car crash forced their evacuations. It happened at Theodore and Oriole in the Walnut Park neighborhood about 7:30 Wednesday evening.
St. Louis police say a car struck a Laclede Gas service pipe. There was initial concern about a possible gas leak. Half a dozen nearby homes were evacuated as a precaution.
Laclede Gas crews determined that there was no gas leak, so the residents were allowed back home.
There's no word what led to the crash.
