HURST, Texas (AP) — Five people — including two police officers — were injured after an SUV crashed into a home in a Dallas suburb, hit a natural gas line and exploded.
Authorities say one of two police officers responding to the crash April 7 was approaching the home in Hurst when it blew up. One of the officers was treated at the scene and the other was examined at a hospital.
Dashcam video of the explosion was released April 18.
Police rescued a couple inside the home and their adult son. A relative says 61-year-old Dixie Bridges is hospitalized with burns.
The driver of the car, 40-year-old Arnulfo Castro, has been arrested for driving without a license. Hurst city spokeswoman Kara McKinney says he told investigators he lost control of his vehicle after the brakes failed.
