A worker was injured after a home exploded in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, Monday morning, police said.
The contractor was doing work inside a home on 130 Highview Road in Sellersville, Pennsylvania, according to police. The owners of the home were away on vacation at the time and the worker was the only one inside, officials said.
A witness told NBC10 the worker walked outside and was on the porch when the home exploded. SkyForce10 was over the scene around 9:30 a.m. showing a home that was completely destroyed and scattered debris.
Police said the contractor suffered burns and was taken to the hospital. While they have not yet revealed the man’s condition, Hilltown Township Police Chief Christopher Engelhart said he is expected to survive. No one else was hurt during the incident.
Chief Engelhart said there were no natural gas lines in the area and investigators believe there was a propane tank at the house. Investigators continue to work to determine the exact cause of the explosion.
No other homes were damaged during the blast and no nearby houses were evacuated.
