PG&E Fixing Broken Gas Line In Elk Grove Neighborhood

ELK GROVE (CBS13) — PG&E crews are dealing with a broken gas line in Elk Grove early Tuesday afternoon, authorities say.

The scene is near Babson and Lakepoint drives.

Elk Grove police say PG&E crews are at the scene dealing with the gas line. Police stress there is no danger to the surrounding neighborhood.

People are being asked to avoid the area, however.

According to PG&E, a third-party contractor dug into the gas line and caused the leak.

The flow of gas has since been shut off and crews are now working on repairs. Expect a crew out working through the evening, PG&E says.

The roadway reopened just after 3 p.m.
