Today's backhoe incident involved a 24 inch natural gas pipeline.
10 people with minor injuries.

There is some dispute between the excavation company and the
pipeline operator whether the pipeline was properly marked or
of the backhoe was operating in the marked area with due care.

State officials are investigating.
