2 men in critical condition after tanker truck explosion
Two men suffered severe burns and are in critical condition after an explosion destroyed a fuel tanker truck in Chubbuck.
Homes that are more than a mile away were rocked by the explosion Tuesday night.
The Bannock County Sheriff’s Office says the explosion happened while the men were welding part of the tanker that was parked outside of their maintenance shop.
Emergency responders say it appears the welding somehow ignited gas in the tanker, causing the explosion.
The incident is under investigation.
