WWL Louisiana is still searching for answers following a house explosion in Avondale that resulted in the death of an elderly woman and injuries to five of her relatives. The explosion was caused by a construction truck driving over a gas line, leading to a leak and subsequent fire. Residents and family members of the victims are expressing anger, claiming they were not properly notified of the gas leak in time to prevent the tragedy.
Efforts to get information from authorities, including Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office, Atmos, and the general contractor for the project, are being met with silence or redirection. Residents have submitted public records requests and are considering legal action as they seek answers and accountability for the incident. The investigation is ongoing, and affected individuals are eager for more information to determine their next steps.
