France: One killed, five injured in explosion at Normandy home

One person was killed and five left injured following an explosion at a house in Nonancourt, Normandy, on Saturday. Authorities believe the blast was caused by a gas leak.
Firefighters and emergency services rushed to the scene of the explosion and managed to locate and rescue all six people trapped under the rubble of the collapsed building. However one man died from his injuries later in the day and one of the injured parties remains in a serious condition in hospital.
Discussing the death, the senior officer of the Eure municipality firefighters said: "This person was buried a long time in a highly dense area, so therefore he didn't have sufficient room to survive."
