TEANECK, NJ – Two PSE&G workers were injured—one severely—when a gas line exploded near where they were working, the Daily Voice reports. The incident occurred on Merrison Street near its intersection with Grange Road at about 11 a.m. yesterday.
“Apparently, they were using a cutting instrument when they struck a gas line that ignited,” said Deputy Police Chief John Faggello. “One employee was severely burned on the arm while the second had less serious burns.”
