PIERRE, S.D. (AP) — Nearly 70 people were evacuated from residences, a library and a YMCA in Pierre after a city street crew ruptured an underground gas line.

No injuries were reported in the Monday afternoon incident. The evacuees were allowed to return after about two hours.

Montana-Dakota Utilities spokesman Mark Hanson says it took about three hours for workers to repair the line.
