Gas leak evacuation shuts Midway City streets
A broke gas main in Midway City forced evacuation of over 100 people and closed a block of Midway Place near Highway 39 and Bolsa Avenue. Edison crews struck gas lines while drilling for new poles, prompting CHP roadblocks and emergency responses as 20 business buildings and about 15 homes were evacuated. The situation eased after mains were capped at noon and residents began to return.
