Lipscomb County (June 9) -- An explosion in the Texas Panhandle that killed two men was the second deadly blast in the state in two days involving workers who have accidentally hit natural gas lines.
Darrouzett, TX - Two people are dead and three others hurt after a gas line explosion, along the Texas-Oklahoma border three miles north of Darrouzett.
DARROUZETT, Texas (AP) - A Texas Panhandle sheriff says two people are dead from a natural gas pipeline explosion.
Lipscomb County Sheriff James Robertson said in a news release Tuesday that the men were killed shortly after the blast in a remote part of the region.
Three people were injured. One was taken by helicopter to a hospital in Oklahoma City. Two others working near the explosion had injuries not considered life-threatening.
The five men were moving clay from a pit near the pipeline when a bulldozer struck it, causing the explosion.
The blast about 270 miles northeast of Lubbock is the second natural gas line explosion in Texas in as many days.
