Update: A compressed natural gas garbage truck collided with a tree at 60th St. and 1st. Ave., sparking a gas leak a little after 9 a.m.
The natural gas could be smelled blocks away. Amy emailed us to say she could smell it “strongly” from 72nd and Dayton. The city of Seattle recently rolled out the new fleet of natural gas garbage trucks to replace the old diesel variety.

Was this in the vicinity of Mike's Chili parlor?
Just kidding. Mike's Chili rocks. Go there.
what could a garbage truck possibly hit to cause a leak? aren't these lines mostly buried deep under the street? any meter would've been protected by “my bollard”
My dog has heroic lab gas, but our morning walk does not take us anywhere near this intersection.
The truck, which is powered by natural gas, hit a tree and ruptured a line. So the leak was actually coming out of the truck itself.
My boyfriend got into the Easter ham and farted, I apologize.
Why divers drive so carelessly. If they don’t know how to drive then why they are given license.
