A gas leak has forced the closure of East Kings Canyon Road between Peach and Willow Avenues in Southeast Fresno.
The line was accidentally stuck by a contractor doing work in the area.
As a precaution, the road was closed and a nearby Walmart was evacuated.
PG&E was able to repair the leak quickly and shoppers were allowed to return and the road was reopened.
Ironically, just the day before, PG&E issued a reminder to call 811 before you dig to make sure an incident like this does not happen.
