A vehicle struck a natural gas meter Monday in Mission Valley, causing a leak near an auto dealership and a Sheraton hotel, according to San Diego Fire-Rescue crews.
According to an SDFD spokesman, the leak from the broken line was first reported shortly before 11 a.m. at 1231 Camino del Rio South, just south of Interstate 8.
Nearby building occupants were asked to remain inside, and police shut down traffic on both sides of Camino del Rio South while a San Diego Gas and Electric crew was called to survey the damage and fix the leak.
There were no reported injuries.
