Two people are at Bridgeport Hospital after an explosion turned their mobile home in Clinton into a pile of rubble early Thursday morning and officials said one is in serious condition.
The explosion happened at a mobile home park on Balsam Place in Clinton and residents in towns miles away heard it. Officials said the home used propane and they believe that is the source of the explosion, but the investigation is still ongoing.
Police started to receive several calls about a loud explosion around 12:30 a.m. and officers started trying to locate the source.
"The shock was just unbelievable. We had stuff knocked off our shelves, pictures off the wall. This guy, his windows were blown out," Ray Saewczyk, of Clinton, said. "Scary stuff."
