Hitchcock - A natural gas leak near Hitchcock forced Blaine County Emergency Management to declare a state of emergency Tuesday evening.
The high-pressure gas line broke just before 6:30 p.m. Authorities evacuated Roman Nose State Park and shut down area highways for more than three hours. They said the low-lying areas were at the greatest risk as the gas begins to settle.
The highways have since been re-opened, but no word on if the visitors to Roman Nose have been allowed to return.
