Gas Explosion Blows Out Walls Of Flat

A gas explosion has ripped through a flat in West Dunbartonshire leaving two people in hospital.

Images posted on social media show how the blast destroyed an outer wall and a section of roof at the home in Bonhill.

Emergency services were called to Burn Street Lane at about 2.45pm on Friday.

A Police Scotland spokeswoman said: "One man is being treated at Glasgow Royal Infirmary for burns and another was taken to the Royal Alexandra Hospital in Paisley to be treated for smoke inhalation.

"Emergency services remain at the scene and a joint investigation with police and the fire service is to be carried out."

West Dunbartonshire Council set up a rest centre for those evacuated from their homes.

Gas engineers carried out checks in the area.
