Woman Dead after Home Explosion in New York; Severely Injured Man Airlifted to Hospital

Following a house explosion in New York on Wednesday, a woman was declared deceased on the spot.

Authorities and firemen were called to a home explosion in Lincoln, some thirty miles from Syracuse, just before 7:00 p.m. local time.

Authorities found two persons who were “entrapped” and debris from the residence when they arrived, according to the Madison County Sheriff’s Office.

The woman was pronounced dead at the spot, but the male victim was evacuated to the hospital. The residence was occupied by the unidentified man and lady, according to a local publication.

The cause of the explosion is being looked into by the authorities. Madison County deputies received assistance from several agencies, including the Greater Lenox Ambulance Service, Lincoln Fire Department, and New York State Police.

“Thank you out to all of our first responders who assisted this evening, from 911 who took the call to the many on scene,” a Madison County representative wrote in a statement.
