LYNN — Residents in the area of Orchard Street were evacuated after a contractor struck a high-pressure gas main on Monday.

After the leak began, the strong smell of gas was in the air and the leak itself was audible, as a loud sound similar to a mattress being deflated could be heard. Firefighters went from door to door evacuating all of the residents as the surrounding streets were blocked off by police.

This is a breaking story and will be updated as more information becomes available.
