Work Crews Hit Gas Line Wednesday Morning At Pruneyard Shopping Center

A demolition crew struck a gas line across the street from The Pruneyard Shopping Center in Campbell this morning, police said.

The crew notified police of a gas line that ruptured at the southeast corner of East Campbell and South Bascom avenues around 10:30 a.m., Campbell police Capt. Gary Berg said.

The crew was at the site of a former restaurant that was torn down, Berg said. A hazardous materials team responded to the scene, where they found a three-quarter-inch gas line had ruptured and were able to close it, Santa Clara County fire spokeswoman Stephanie Stuehler said.

A PG&E crew was also called to the scene, Stuehler said.

Neighboring businesses were told to shelter in place for about 20 minutes, Berg said. No injuries were reported in the incident.
