OVERLAND PARK, Kan. — Emergency crews are on the scene of a gas leak that formed a sinkhole near a gas station Thursday.
Overland Park firefighters responded to the scene outside a Quik Trip at 119th and Riley shortly before 6 p.m.
A fire department spokesperson said a crew working in a trench in front of the QT struck a 4-inch gas line. The gas was venting into the atmosphere and dispersing naturally.
Crews shut down 119th Street from Riley to Blue Valley Parkway as a precaution.
As of 9:45 p.m. Thursday, the gas leak was reportedly still not under control.
There have been no injuries reported. The area is not being evacuated.
