The crash happened around 10:15 a.m. and caused the evacuation of several businesses along the 200 block of Mill Street for the rest of the morning, Bristol Fire Chief Herb Slack said a section of Mill Street in the central business district was also closed due to some crews working to repair the gas leak.
