An audio version of this story.

Colonial Pipeline had another explosion in Alabama, in roughly the same spot where a leak occurred in September. That leak caused gas price hikes in numerous areas, including metro Atlanta.

Officials with the Alpharetta-based business say this explosion happened when an excavating truck struck the line.
