HUTCHINSON, Kan. — A gas leak forced law enforcement to close off a portion of U.S. 50 last night.
It was just before 9 p.m. that Hutchinson fire crews were called out to U.S. 50 and Kent Road after a leak was discovered in a one inch gas line. The highway was closed from Mayfield to Buhler/ Haven Road while repairs were made to the line. The cause of the break has not been determined.
The highway was reopened around midnight and there were no injuries in the incident.
