SAN ANTONIO – A driver crashed into a gas line near downtown San Antonio early Tuesday morning before abandoning the vehicle and leaving the scene.<\/p>\n
The accident happened just after 5 a.m. Tuesday at the corner of Probandt Street and Steves Avenue, just north of U.S. Highway 90. <\/p>\n
Police said the vehicle struck a four-inch gas main, causing a leak. First responders initially pushed people away from the area as gas escaped from the damaged line.<\/p>\n
The gas has since been shut off and there is no longer a threat, according to police. CPS Energy crews remained at the scene working to make repairs and clean up the area.<\/p>\n
Police said the driver left the vehicle behind and fled after the crash. Investigators have not said whether the driver has been located or what led to the crash.<\/p>\n
The northbound lanes of Probandt were temporarily closed while crews worked at the scene. Police expected the closure to last about 30 minutes before the roadway could reopen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SAN ANTONIO – A driver crashed into a gas line near downtown San Antonio early Tuesday morning before…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":409775,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[82,84,83],"class_list":["post-409774","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-antonio","tag-san-antonio","tag-san-antonio-headlines","tag-san-antonio-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/409774","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=409774"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/409774\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/409775"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=409774"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=409774"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=409774"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
