Gas Leak Closes West Hollywood Intersection

A gas leak has caused significant disruptions in West Hollywood, leading to the closure of the intersection at Sunset and La Cienega boulevards. The leak was reported around 9:50 AM after a construction crew accidentally ruptured a high-pressure gas line, prompting the evacuation of approximately 50 individuals from nearby buildings. Emergency crews from the Southern California Gas Company and the Los Angeles County Fire Department are on-site, ensuring public safety and working to seal the leak, which they estimate will take about two hours. Meanwhile, in Honolulu, a separate gas leak has led to the closure of Dillingham Boulevard between McNeill Street and Waiakamilo Road, with traffic advisories in place for drivers. The Honolulu Gas Company is currently investigating the cause of the leak. Both incidents highlight the importance of safety measures in managing gas leaks and minimizing public risk.
