Officials in Marengo County report an explosion apparently caused by a gas pipeline rupture. It happened off Highway 69, near Rembert Hills Road south of Linden, just after 3:30 Saturday afternoon. The explosion was heard for miles around, and witnesses reported seeing flames shooting the air.
Williams Gas, which owns the pipeline, has shut off that section of the pipeline. The explosion happened in a rural area, so no people or houses were nearby. No injuries were reported, according to Marengo County EMA Director Kevin McKinney.
