Truck drove through Littleton home wall and ruptured gas line

A truck drove through the back wall of a Jefferson County home on Tuesday afternoon, striking a gas line and turning a residential garage into a multi-agency utility emergency.

The crash occurred around 1:30 or 2 p.m. at 6654 S. Webster Street in Littleton, according to reports from Hoodline and CBS News. First responders from South Metro Fire Rescue rushed to the scene after the vehicle smashed through the rear exterior wall and ruptured the home’s gas meter.
