ALLENTOWN, Pa. - Officials shut down a street in Allentown Friday night while the gas company responded to a call about a gas leak.

A crew from UGI was sent to the 900 block of Gordon Street. A 69 News freelance photojournalist at the scene says he saw homes being evacuated.

Joe Swope, Manager of Media Relations and Special Projects with UGI, said crews located a leak, shut off the gas, and made the area safe. UGI is in the process of restoring service to customers, Swope said.
