SUBURBAN BOYNTON BEACH, Fla. - UPDATE: The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office says the plaza and nearby roads have been reopened.
EARLIER STORY:
The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office says the Flakowitz plaza in suburban Boynton Beach has been closed and evacuated due to a gas leak.
Palm Beach County Fire Rescue said its crews were dispatched to Hangen Ranch Road and Venture Center Way where they discovered construction workers had struck a 4-6 inch natural gas line.
A HazMat team is on scene and Florida Public Utilities is also sending a crew to help seal the leak.
As a result, PBSO says Hagen Ranch Road from Boynton Beach Boulevard south past Hagen Ranch Elementary is closed.
