(AP) – Police say a driver who struck a natural gas main in
the Washington County city of Farmington, sparking a large fire, died in the
accident.
The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reports police and fire agencies responded to
the fire which started around 3:45 p.m. Friday. Black Hills Energy spokesman
Rich Davis says the fire started shortly after the driver hit the gas main.
The identity of the driver hasn’t been released, and an investigation is
ongoing.
An evacuation order was lifted by Saturday morning and the street was
reopened.
