A construction crew hit a one-inch natural gas line Sunday, causing a leak that prompted evacuations, authorities said.

near Lamplight Drive, said a dispatcher with the San Diego Fire-Rescue
Department.
Area residents were evacuated as a precaution, according to San Diego
police Officer Jane Jacobsen.
The leak was contained in less than a half-hour.
