Evacuations have been lifted for those who live in a condominium complex in Mira Mesa after a car crash caused a gas leak Wednesday afternoon.

As of 5 p.m., 20 units had been evacuated in the condominium complex and an evacuation center was set up. At Around 6:45 p.m., all evacuations were lifted in the area.
