There were no injuries in Molino accident this afternoon that caused a gas leak that left the driver facing a careless driving charge.

His car came to rest on top of the ruptured gas line. The resulting gas leak was quickly contained by personnel from Okaloosa Gas. There was no fire from the collision.
Grace was not injured in the accident. He was charged with careless driving, according to the FHP.
