HUTCHINSON, Kan. (AP) — Two people are hospitalized and several others suffered minor injuries after a small explosion caused a fire at a Kansas State Fair concession trailer, police and fair officials said.
The explosion happened Tuesday evening at a small trailer selling various types of food at the fair in Hutchinson. Two people were taken to Hutchinson Regional Medical Center, a news release from the state fair said.
