AL Food Truck Explodes
A propane tank on a food truck exploded Friday, sending one person to the hospital.
The explosion happened just after 10 a.m. at Forestdale Square at the Forestdale Food Truck Park. The event was taking place from 11 a.m. until 7 p.m. and the Urban League was also on site giving out free gas cards.
Jefferson County sheriff’s deputies were already on the scene directing traffic for the gas card give-way when the explosion happened inside the truck.
Forestdale firefighters responded and transported one person to the hospital with burns. The injuries are believed to be serious.
