Van Crashes into Bryn Mawr Consignment Shop, Causes Gas Leak

A substantial gas leak occurred in Bryn Mawr on Tuesday afternoon after a van crashed into a consignment shop near Bryn Mawr Hospital.

According to a Lower Merion Police officer, sometime before 2:20 p.m. a maroon Ford E250 was driven into the east side of Great Estate Consignment Shop, located on the corner of County Line Road and Haverford Road.

The impact severed a PECO line, which caused a leak that, according to a Radnor police officer on the scene, was resolved by 2:45 p.m. Another officer added that although the immediate threat had been dealt with, PECO repairs to address the full extent of the damage would be ongoing.

There is no information about the condition of the driver or the cause of the accident available at this time. Patch will update this story when more details are available.
