Crews were called to King Edward Drive after a car drove into a green box containing a gas main, fracturing a supply pipe which started leaking gas.
The driver was not seriously hurt and was checked over by paramedics at the scene. Twenty homes were evacuated.
Firefighters are standing by as National Grid engineers work to stem the leak.
