A large explosion rocked a hotel in Fort Worth, Texas on Monday leaving multiple people injured, according to various reports.
The explosion “blew out at least two floors” of the Sandman Signature Fort Worth Hotel, according to NBC DFW. One person was reportedly in critical condition while two others were in serious condition and at least eight others were injured.
Various officials said that the cause of the explosion at the 245-room high rise hotel appeared to be a natural gas leak.
“There is a smell of gas here in downtown,” said Craig Trojacek with the Fort Worth Fire Department. “We’re not sure if the smell of gas was caused from the explosion and the fire itself or if that’s what caused the explosion. But that’s what we’re looking at.”
First responders are on scene this afternoon of an explosion at a hotel in downtown Fort Worth.
