Firefighters advised people living around Mount Sohier to close their windows and stay inside after gas was being released from the exposed pipe.
When the first crew of on-call firefighters attended the incident at around 6.10 pm, they called in support from town and a specialist foam water rescue engine, before more support arrived from the police and Jersey Gas.
Crew Commander Laurens said that the gas company isolated the mains supply to stop gas venting.
In a statement, the Crew Commander said: “It was quickly established that the vehicle had left the road and struck a gas main.
“Occupants were treated on scene by Ambulance Paramedics and the road was closed with assistance from States of Jersey Police.
“Upon further inspection it was discovered that gas was venting from the main. A fine spray monitor was put in place to disperse any gases being released until the gas company isolated the supply.
“Crews ensured that the vehicle was made safe and the incident handed over to Jersey Gas and States of Jersey Police.”
