Gas Leak Prompts Evacuation Order In Central Pennsylvania

NEW OXFORD, Pa. (AP) — A gas leak has prompted an evacuation order for parts of one central Pennsylvania community. The Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency issued the order Thursday evening for residents within a half-mile of the reported leak in Hamilton Township in Adams County. Officials say the leak was caused when the driver of a truck backed up and hit a pipe at a Columbia Gas regulator station. Motorists and pedestrians are being asked to avoid the area as a safety precaution. A temporary shelter has been set up at a nearby fire station. No injuries have been reported. Columbia Gas is working to address the leak.Read more on NewsOK.com
