1 killed, 2 injured in Saginaw storage tank explosion
One man was killed and two others injured at a Saginaw business when a storage tank being pressurized Friday morning exploded, MedStar officials said.
The incident happened about 8 a.m. at Troxell Trailer Manufacturing, 1004 Burlington Road.
MedStar spokesman Matt Zavadsky said the explosion occurred as the men were pressurizing some type of storage tank.
“From what the crew is telling me, the pressure caused some kind of explosion — not a fire explosion but pressure explosion,” Zavadsky said.
Jose Gayton, 34, of Fort Worth was taken to Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital Fort Worth and was pronounced dead at 9:06 a.m.
Two other men were hospitalized with minor injuries, Zavadsky said.
