According to city officials, a contractor accidentally hit a 3-inch gas line on the 6000 block of Saratoga Boulevard just before 11 a.m. Friday.

Police immediately arrived and shut down one of the eastbound lanes of Saratoga, and they've shut down the entrance to the shopping center that houses Dunkin' Donuts.
