Her doorbell camera captured the moment of a big explosion in Hayward in California’s San Francisco Bay Area. It occurred after a gas line rupture, injuring at least six people, according to local news reports.
First responders took the injured to hospital. Their condition was not immediately known, ABC7 News said.
Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) said they were told that a third-party construction outfit had damaged the underground gas line at about 7.30am local time. The crew was working on Lewelling Boulevard, which has been the site of a construction project to expand bike lanes and sidewalks, ABC7 News reported.
PG&E said they went to the damaged gas line and stopped the flow of gas, which was leaking at multiple points, by 9.25am local time. The explosion erupted 10 minutes later, according to ABC7 News.
