A trenching machine inadvertently cut a natural gas line in Regina Friday, leading to a disruption for businesses in the area.
The line, near Albert Street and 6th Avenue, was on City of Regina property.
Some nearby businesses were evacuated as a precaution.
It took nearly three hours to stop the leaking gas because repair crews needed to dig to get to it.
