One person died and seven were injured Tuesday after a suspected gas-related explosion damaged dozens of townhouses in Ewing Township, New Jersey, according to authorities. The explosion took place nearly an hour later when the PSE&G workers were attempting to repair the line, officials said. It blew out windows, caused several fires and threw debris around the housing development. "Obviously, where it happened is devastated. I mean, it's really bad," Ewing Police Lt. Ron Lunetta said at a press briefing. Temporary shelter was being provided at a local fire station for people who were unable to reenter their homes, according to Ewing Township Mayor Bert Steinmann. The township is a suburb of Trenton.
Condolences to the family of friends of the person who died. Thankfully, more people were not fatally injured. Wishing those injured a full recovery.
