Gütersloh: City Details - Van Blown Up, Leaving Driver Hurt
Onlookers alerted the authorities at 5:10 am about a dangerous incident in Gütersloh. A man from Rietberg was preparing to start the engine of his company van when the vehicle suddenly erupted in an explosion. The destructive force took apart the entire van, with the roof and side walls of the cargo area flying metres apart. The blast waves also caused severe damage to the man's 57-year-old house, as well as other houses and parked vehicles in the residential area.
Emergency services swiftly arrived at the scene and managed to free the wounded man, who was conscious despite his serious injuries, and transported him to a hospital in Bielefeld for treatment. Law enforcement officers from Gütersloh's criminal investigation department and forensic engineers from the Bielefeld police headquarters conducted a thorough analysis of the location and seized the van as evidence.
Preliminary investigations suggest no potential cause for the blast. The van's cargo hold was filled with propane gas cylinders, which are currently being scrutinized for their link to the explosion.
