A couple and their neighbour have died after an explosion and fire tore through a north-east Texas barn.
The Associated Press reported that the blast happened in Simms, Texas, about 27 miles west of Texarkana, with the barn’s owners, Steven Granbery, 60, and Cynthia Granbery, 55, and 65-year-old William Barnes all killed.
Bowie County Fire Marshal Scottie Taylor said evidence pointed toward the blast being an accident.
The Granberys had kept gasoline, propane and an all-terrain vehicle in the barn, the walls of which were blown out by the blast. The heat also melted a wall of the Granberys’ home.
