HazMat situation in New Lots; Buckeye Pipeline breaks spewing fuel

NEW LOTS, Brooklyn (WABC) -- There is a HazMat situation in the New Lots section of Brooklyn.

The Buckeye Pipeline suffered a break causing a massive odor of gas to permeate the air.

The break has since been isolated and the valves turned off.

The odor was smelled in the area of Linden Boulevard and Junius Street.

Newscopter 7 spotted a leak coming up through the ground.

This is a 2nd alarm HazMat response.
