Omaha Worker Burned When 55-Gallon Drum Explodes

A worker has been injured in an explosion at his Omaha workplace.

He'd been working on a 55-gallon drum when it blew up Thursday afternoon at Wick's Trucks. He was flown to an Omaha hospital for treatment.

Wick's general manager, Terry Schnauber, says that he doesn't know what caused the explosion but that safety officials have been called in.

The man's name and other information about him haven't been released.

The company sells and repairs semitrailer trucks.
