The water company was digging for an underground pipe when the accident occurred, said Town of Haverstraw Lt. Martin Lund. "There was no fire or flood, just the smell of gas coming from the open trench."

Utility crews responded to the emergency and shut off the gas line after the incident was reported around 1:30 p.m.

Nobody was hurt.
