A town outside of Dallas, Texas was rocked Monday morning by an explosion that demolished at least one home and left five people injured, according to NBC DFW.
The explosion happened at around 8 a.m. in Waxahachie on the 100 block of Arabian Road that runs through the Saddlebrook Estates neighborhood, according to Fox 4. Nine other nearby properties were damaged by the explosion.
Two adult victims of the explosion were airlifted to Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas. Three other people were treated for minor injuries. The identities and conditions of the two adult victims is not clear.
Debris from the explosion can be seen strewn along the street. The home appears to be completely flattened with only part of the house's wood frame in tact.
The source of the explosion is still under investigation, but Waxahachie firefighters told NBC DFW that it may have been caused by a gas leak.
The Waxahachie Police Department and Ellis County Emergency Management Department could not provide additional details to BuzzFeed News.
