Crews were called to the corner of West Southern Ave and Caroline Ave in Covington this morning after reports of a collapsed wall.

Upon arrival, it was determined that a water main burst and gas leak caused the retaining wall to crumble.

The situation is now under control, but four homes were evacuated. Authorities say those out of their home have been put on a Tank bus so that they are not out in the cold.

Crews say there is still a small leak, but it poses no danger. They plan to begin clean up and still need to determine if the homes evacuated are structurally sound enough for the families to return.

Multiple fire trucks were on the scene and are still blocking the intersection and a large area of Caroline Ave.
