(CBS DETROIT) – A woman was taken to hospital in Detroit on Friday after a sewer explosion.
A city spokesman said the explosion occurred at Congress Street and Woodward Avenue. Officials say a woman was in the area when the explosion occurred and was taken to a hospital. They say she was not hit by the manhole cover, but her current condition is unknown.
According to officials, there is no structural damage to the road.
DTE Energy and the Detroit Fire Department are investigating the cause of the explosion. DTE confirmed that the manhole is not owned by the company and is only assisting the fire department with the investigation.
“At DTE Gas, the safety of our customers and communities is our top priority. We are currently working with the Detroit Fire Department to investigate the cause of an incident in downtown Detroit involving a non-DTE manhole cover popping up. Service remains available to DTE customers in the area while the investigation continues,” a DTE spokesperson said.
