Our Michigan injury accident lawyer is reporting a story in the news today about a Detroit furniture store, William C. Franks, that exploded this morning due to a natural gas leak. Owner Paul Frank, who suffers serious injuries, along with two other people were trapped in the rubble after the explosion. According to police, an individual drivng by the store when the gas explosion took place and a pedestrian nearby also suffer injuries. Reports show that the utility, Consumers Energy, had been called to the store a few hours before the explosion because of report of a leak. The gas line was shut off and gas service has been shut off to the area.
I am very sorry to hear about this accident and hope all injured victims have a fast recovery without any permanent damages.
