Crews Respond to Another Allentown Gas Leak

Just one week after a gas leak claimed the lives of five Allentown residents, emergency workers are working to repair another gas leak -- only one block away.

UGI and AFD workers responded to N. 13th Street near West Turner Street and are currently digging a hole to try and stop the leak.

Allentown Police say that some residents were evacuated.

There are no reported injuries or answers as to how the leak started.
