AUBURN, Wash. —
The gas leak was capped as of 1 p.m. Tuesday.
Construction workers were working on a six inch gas main at about 11:30 a.m. Wednesday when the cap blew off and hit a worker in the face, McDonald said.
The worker was transported to Highline hospital with minor injuries.
Several roads were closed as crews worked to secure the leak.
A 1/8 square mile of Auburn was either under evacuation or "shelter-in-place" orders. Two businesses were completely evacuated and the Albertsons grocery store was the shelter-in-place location.
A woman in Albertsons said customers and staff were being asked to stay inside the story and could not leave.
