HERRIMAN — Residents within a 1-mile radius of a Domino's Pizza location in Herriman were evacuated as a precaution due to a potential gas leak late Saturday, the Herriman Police Department posted on Facebook. The order was lifted in the early morning hours of Sunday.
Police were at the location, at 5200 W. 13400 South, investigating after a three-car accident sent one vehicle off the road and into the building, rupturing a gas line and igniting a massive fire, Unified Fire Authority posted on X. "Two bystanders risked their lives to rescue the driver and passenger from the burning vehicle just moments before it was engulfed in flames," the post states.
As fire crews began suppression efforts, a powerful explosion destroyed one business and caused significant damage to two neighboring properties.
