The intersection of Bel Aire Drive and Western Avenue in Glendale was briefly closed to traffic Thursday after a gas pipe broke when a motorist lost control of her vehicle and crashed into the front of a home, officials said.
The motorist, whose identity wasn’t immediately released, was speeding about 10:35 a.m. west on the 1700 block of Bel Air Drive, drove through a stop sign and lost control of her vehicle as she tried to turn onto Western Avenue, according to Glendale police.
Her vehicle struck a gas meter and caused minor exterior damage to a corner home, said Glendale Fire Battalion Chief Greg Godfrey.
