Kebab shop blast kills one
12.10PM, Thu May 18 2006
At least one person has been killed during an explosion at a kebab shop in Hull.
The blast which occurred at around 3am in Bishop Alcock Road is thought to have been caused by a gas leak.
Firefighters rescued a man and a woman from their home above the fast-food outlet while around 20 homes had to be evacuated.
Shops on either side, including a hairdressers, were badly damaged by the blast while nearby houses had windows blown out and cars were damaged.
A rescue services spokesman said: "We found at least one body but we have been unable to get on to the upper areas of the building at the moment. There may be more, we just don't know."
Staff from Transco have been trying to isolate the gas supply so firefighters can extinguish any remaining fires and investigate the debris.
