LEXINGTON, S.C. — A gas leak at a Lexington County intersection slowed traffic for much of Tuesday afternoon. 

The leak was at the intersection of Wessinger Road and Old Lexington Highway. 

According to Harrison Cahill, Lexington County Public Information Officer, the break was a six inch gas line.

Dominion Energy said that the gas leak was caused by a third party strike and that crews responded to the scene around 12:15. Around 3:30 p.m., the county said the rupture had been secured, and the work on the pipe could be fixed.
