Woman Escapes Butane Car Blast in Idaho
Jerome resident Carol Earl, 30, escaped serious injury when her 1975 Dodge exploded on Main St in Twin Falls Idaho. Eight gallons of butane stored at a Cal-Gas station were reportedly ignited by an air conditioner motor causing a blast that shattered windows and raised the roof. Earl was hospitalized for shock and burns and kept for observation. Police Chief Howard DuBois said only fuel fumes in the trunk exploded, not the tank itself.
