More details are being released about a deadly house explosion in north-central Iowa over the weekend.
Franklin County authorities say they were called to the 500 block of 250th Street southeast of Meservey shortly after 3:35 Saturday afternoon. On arrival, rescuers were able to take one unnamed person from the house that had severe injuries and life-flight them to Unity Point Hospital in Des Moines.
Authorities later found the body of 71-year-old Janice Doane who died from injuries sustained in the accident. The State Fire Marshal’s Office is investigating the incident.
