Crew accidentally strikes Cumberland gas line

CUMBERLAND -- A construction crew accidentally struck a gas line while digging near a warehouse in the Diamond Hill Industrial Park this afternoon.

Workers in the 100,000-square-foot complex at 35 Industrial Drive, which included the Academy for Little Children, a daycare center, were evacuated while a National Grid crew made repairs. Police closed part of Industrial Drive for about half an hour.

The warehouse, formerly owned by textile manufacturer Hope Global, is currently owned by Right Concepts.
