COLORADO SPRINGS – Three Colorado Springs homes were evacuated Friday morning as a contractor boring a horizontal line for a pipe accidentally hit a gas line.
Utilities capped the line rather quickly.
Fire crews, working alongside Colorado Springs Utilities, made sure everyone along the block got out of their homes safely. There was air monitoring in place to ensure none of the natural gas backed up in the homes.
News5 is told the contractor was working on a project for Comcast to install cable fiber on Oyster Bay Dr. and Scarborough Dr. just northwest of Woodmen Rd. and Powers Blvd.
