8/15/2007

A natural gas line broke and began leaking when it was struck yesterday near the intersection of Airport Highway and Byrne Road, authorities said.

Chris Kozak, a Columbia Gas spokesman, said a construction crew digging a trench along Airport struck the line about 9:30 a.m. Mr. Kozak said no one was hurt, and the leak didn't warrant any evacuations.
