CAPE CORAL, Fla. — Cape Coral Firefighters responded to two vehicle accidents on Pine Island Road where a gas line that feeds the Florida Cancer Specialists building was ruptured on March 3.

One person was reportedly transported for treatment following the vehicle accident.

After the ruptured gas line, everyone evacuated The Florida Cancer Specialists building, and when employees went back into the building they were reportedly experiencing nausea, dizziness and vomiting.

The employees were then said to also be transported for evaluation.
