At least one person is dead and dozens are injured after an explosion ripped through a corn milling plant in central Wisconsin late Wednesday, authorities said.
Police were searching for two workers still missing after the blast, Columbia County Sheriff Dennis Richards said at a press conference Thursday. At least 16 employees were working at the Didion Milling plant in Cambria, Wisconsin, when the explosion was first reported around 11 p.m.
Glen Williams, president of the Village of Cambria, said the “three- to four-story structure” has been destroyed.
“It’s definitely going to be a hard hit for this community,” Williams told NBC News. “Didion works strongly with our communities, supporting our parks and et cetera, so any loss for them is a loss for us.”
