A tragic explosion at a Mobil gas station on Regent and King Streets in Georgetown on Sunday night has left one child dead and two others seriously injured. Authorities have confirmed that a cooking gas cylinder, commonly referred to as a ‘gas bottle,’ was not the cause of the incident. The explosion, which occurred at approximately 7:24 PM, destroyed a car and caused significant damage to the Mobil convenience store, Acme’s building, and an adjacent cambio. Shattered glass windows were reported in a building on the north-western corner of the intersection. The Fire Service received an emergency call at 7:30 PM and arrived at the scene by 7:34 PM. Initial investigations revealed no evidence of a gas bottle being involved. Witnesses reported seeing white and then black smoke moments before the loud explosion, which was heard and felt across distant sections of Georgetown. Police are now investigating whether the explosion was caused by an explosive device or a malfunction in the car. A woman, who had parked the car and entered a nearby KFC to make a purchase, was unharmed. The incident has raised concerns about safety measures at gas stations and the potential risks associated with vehicle malfunctions.
