People evacuated after lorry crash leads to gas leak in Devon


People have been evacuated from homes and a road closed after a lorry crashed into a building, which resulted in a gas leak.

Devon and Cornwall Police asked residents in Buckfastleigh, Devon, to shut windows and doors on Friday morning after a lorry hit the side of a building and a parked van at Higher Mill Lane. It said no injuries were reported and the lorry was recovered.

Wales & West Utilities said a gas service pipe, supplying a commercial property, was damaged. It said engineers stopped the leak “quickly and safely”.

“All roads are being reopened, and people are being allowed to return to the properties,” it said.
