ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Rochester Police say a car crashing into a townhouse led to neighbors being evacuated due to a gas leak.
It happened around 8:45 p.m. Friday on Broadway and South Union Street.
Officers say the driver ran from the scene and when they got there, people said they smelled gas and heard a hissing sound.
RG&E says crews responded and cut the gas service to eliminate the hazard. RG&E crews will return to restore service once it is requested and the house has been repaired.
