BREAKING: VTA officials issued an advisory about the incident Thursday morning.
SANTA CLARA COUNTY, CA -- UPDATED: Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority officials said they are resuming full light-rail service on the Green Line this morning after a gas leak stopped service between the Race and Diridon stations in San Jose.
The 6-inch gas leak was at a construction site at 800 W. San Carlos St. San Jose Fire Department spokesman Joshua Padron said a backhoe struck the line and forced the evacuation of the site.
The VTA issued an advisory at 9:31 a.m. about the disruption, and service resumed as of 10:58 a.m. A bus shuttle was established between the two stations where service was disrupted.
