Woman injured in Kylemore Park gas explosion
A woman has been transferred to hospital following a suspected gas explosion in Derry.
The emergency services are at the scene in Kylemore Park.
A NI Ambulance Service spokesperson said it had received a 999 call about the incident just after 11:50 am on Saturday (January 14).
Following treatment at the scene, the woman was transferred to Altnagelvin Area Hospital.
The PSNI also attended the incident and they are urging the public to avoid the area.
In a social media post relating to the incident, Derry City councillor Shauna Cusack said she had just been to the scene in Kylemore.
She added: "It’s worse than what was initially thought with the elderly lady taken to hospital. Thoughts and prayers with her and her family that she is okay."
DerryNow understands that the incident is not connected to any issue with the main gas network.
