Early this morning, a deadly propane leak explosion destroyed a house in Dorrance Township, PA. The blast occurred after 1:30 A.M. at a home on the 2100 block of Alberdeen Road. Emergency responders found 20-year-old Nathan Hedgepath lying on the ground outside the home. He told firefighters that his parents and their pet cat Onyx were still inside. Shortly after firefighters arrived at the scene, a second blast occurred that completely leveled the house. Crews found the body of a woman in the rubble as the search continues for the man. The injured man was taken to the local hospital and is expected to survive his injuries.
