A reported leak from a rupture in a gas line in northern Los Angeles 
County led authorities to urge nearby residents to stay inside and 
to temporarily shut down a major Southern California highway for 
several hours on Saturday, snarling traffic for miles. 

The 34-inch gas main line is located just east of the southbound 
lanes of Interstate 5 in Castaic, a major thoroughfare linking 
Southern and Northern California. 

Capt. Brian Kight, a spokesman for L.A. County Fire, said the call 
for the leak came in around 4:20 p.m. local time. Kight said there 
were no reports of any explosions from the leak and no reported 
injuries. 

While authorities say there is no danger to the public, a shelter-
in-place order, impacting 14,900 people, remained in effect Saturday 
night.
