The National Transportation Safety Board has confirmed that a natural gas leak was the source of an explosion that killed one and injured five in Rancho Cordova on December 24th. NTSB’s Karl Gunther, a pipeline accident investigator, said the next step will be to determine where the underground pipeline broke.
Federal investigators plan to probe the deadly Christmas Eve explosion that leveled a house in Rancho Cordova. The focus of the investigation is expected to be a suspected underground gas leak. A spokesman for Pacific Gas & Electric Co., says a worker who was searching for the leak found no excessive gas flow at the house but began alerting residents in the immediate area.
The motorcycle officer who was injured Friday, December 19 in a vehicle accident is expected to completely recover from his injuries. Deputy Corey Simpson was injured on Highway 99 in Sutter County, suffering injuries to his right leg and shoulder. The Sacramento County Sheriff’s Department says Simpson will spend several days in the hospital.
