Late Saturday, a vehicle collided with a building at a strip mall in Herriman, Utah, resulting in a fire that led to an explosion, according to police reports.

The explosion sent the building’s blazing roof into the sky and prompted temporary evacuations nearby because of gas leak concerns.

Several people were reportedly injured by the fire and explosion in the Salt Lake City suburb, FOX 13 reported.

The news outlet said a reported gas leak prompted those within a one-mile radius of the strip mall’s address to evacuate. 

“Residents living on Terra Cruz Lane and Parasol Lane are advised to evacuate to safety because of a suspected gas leak,” the police department announced on social media. “Those residing beyond the immediate vicinity are not required to evacuate right now but should stay prepared to do so if the situation changes.”

The order was lifted just after 1 a.m. local time.
