What is seen in this video is a waterfall created by the fire department to diminish chances of an explosion. The water is falling on the black car which hit the gas main on the side of the Hazelton Place Retirement Home on Avenue Rd. south of Davenport Rd. It was reported that the residents had to evacuate but later information says they are sitting right in their units. According to police, two vehicles were involved in a collision on Avenue near Davenport shortly after 4 p.m. Surveillance video (below) shows a vehicle trying to make a left turn off of Avenue when a car speeding northbound smacks it and careers into the retirement home striking a gas line.
