Mansfield gas leak prompts neighborhood evacuation
Families are being allowed back in their homes after a gas leak was reported in Mansfield.
Atmos Energy said a construction crew hit a 6-inch natural gas line Wednesday afternoon in the area around Matlock Road and Chretien Point Drive.
About 57 homes were evacuated as a precaution and Atmos said it helped to find accommodations for some of the families in those homes.
Some residents tweeted out photos of a large hole in the ground and a crew working on the pipe.
Atmos said workers were able to make repairs and people were allowed back into their homes early Thursday morning.
