Truckload of Munitions Explodes Near Indianapolis
A truck carrying about 23,500 pounds of ammunition including blades caught fire on a bypass near Indianapolis and exploded. One person was slightly injured, a nearby home damaged a picture window shattered, utility lines cut, and services disrupted. The truck, owned by a Kansas City firm, had the driver jump to safety minutes before the blast. This marked the second ammunition explosion in Indiana in six months, following a March train derailment and explosion at Lewis injuring many and causing property damage.
