Krispy Kreme evacuated after car crash that causes traffic delays, Cayce officials say
An early morning car crash caused a domino effect of issues during the Tuesday commute.
The crash occurred near Knox Abbott Drive and caused a gas line to break, City of Cayce officials tweeted.
The gas leak was at the Krispy Kreme Doughnuts shop, which was evacuated, officials said. That is at the intersection of Knox Abbott Drive and 12th Street, in a densely-packed area where several restaurants and businesses are located.
The leak was first reported at about 7 a.m.
Beyond the evacuation, the gas leak caused traffic issues.
City officials said drivers in the busy area should expect delays during the morning commute as emergency responders worked on securing the leak.
A little after 8 a.m., officials said the roads had reopened, but Krispy Kreme remained closed.
Information on how long the doughnut shop will be closed was not available.
There is no word if there were any injuries caused by the crash or gas leak.
