A state of emergency remains in effect in the Schenectady County Town of Glenville, after a massive explosion was seen and felt for miles Thursday evening.
The explosion and ensuing fire occurred when a truck carrying condensed natural gas crashed into a rail overpass over Maple Ave. Nearby homes were evacuated.
The driver of the truck suffered severe burns and was brought to Westchester Medical Center. A warming station has been opened at the Glenville Senior Center.
Republican Glenville Town Supervisor Chris Koetzle, who was at the scene of the blast, spoke with WAMC’s Lucas Willard Friday morning.
