The pipeline is a 20-inch-wide (50-centimeter-wide) conduit that runs for miles through the Houston area.
An above-ground valve continues to burn three days after after a vehicle drove through a fence along a parking lot and struck the site, Wednesday, Sept. 18, 2024, in La Porte, Texas.
With the fire substantially smaller since it began on Monday, police were able to access the area around the pipeline in Deer Park. Investigators removed the white SUV and towed it away Thursday morning. "They will now begin working through their identification process, which will take some time," officials said.
But authorities have offered few details on what caused the vehicle to crash through the fence and hit the pipeline valve.
