Brake Failure: Vehicle Hits School, Crashes Into Gas Line

Twin Falls, Idaho- A car crashed into the Magic Valley High School at 7:11 p.m. Saturday and struck a gas line, said Terry Thueson, Twin Falls Police sergeant. According to a report by Magic Valley News, a man was making a U-turn in a car, when his brakes failed and he crashed into the gas line.

Apparently it took well over an hour to repair the whole line. Others commented on the situation sourly, stating “It was very fortunate that it happened on a weekend, the school would’ve been emptied if it was during class time.” 

Unfortunately for the kids, class isn’t being postponed and unfortunately for the man driving the vehicle, he will be charged with driving with “unsafe equipment”.
