Explosion in a house, three people rescued

An explosion occurred in a house in Orte, in the province of Viterbo, and three people were injured.

It seems that the accident was caused by a mixture of LPG leaking from some containers, but investigations are underway.

Firefighters pulled an 82-year-old and his 71-year-old wife from under the rubble, both of whom were taken to hospital. The couple's son was also rescued and entrusted to an ambulance staff.

A part of the house collapsed, the area was seized to allow the surveys by the carabinieri.
