Gas leak closed Cronic Dr.

GAINESVILLE - Cronic Drive in Gainesville was closed for a time Tuesday morning because of a gas leak.

Hall County Fire Chief David Kimbrell said the road was closed between Atlanta Highway and Browns Bridge Road after road construction crews cut a 4-inch gas line.

No one was hurt and there evacuations were not necessary, according to Kimbrell, because the strong winds helped disperse the gas.
