A gas leak has been shut off after a car crashed into a pipe in La Mesa, Heartland Fire and Rescue officials said.
An elderly woman driving a car hit a gas line on the 8100 block of Cinnabar Drive in La Mesa, officials said.
SDG&E said they had to perform a major dig to fix the pipe and are waited for equipment to dig the asphalt and access the line to cap it.
Officials originally asked residents to avoid the area for one hour, but it took them approximately two hours to cap the leak.
