KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Crews have completed repairs to a gas line break at the Indian Hills subdivision in Lexington, Missouri, that occurred Thursday afternoon.
Liberty Utilities allowed Indian Hills residents to return to the area, which includes Lakeview Drive, Tomahawk Lane and Arrowhead Road.
Those roads were closed to the public while crews worked on repairs.
Back in April, the Lexington community dealt with grief and frustration after an explosion and fire killed a child and injured his father and sister.
The deadly explosion led to an investigation by the National Transportation Safety Board.
A preliminary report revealed the gas company, Liberty Utilities, did not properly mark an area where the gas line was hit. It also stated that emergency personnel crews did not notify neighbors or residents despite being on scene for three hours.
This is a developing story. Check back for updates.
