BIG SPRING, Texas — An explosion rocked an oil refinery Monday, injuring four workers and shaking buildings miles away.
One employee was hospitalized for burns, while the others were treated and released, said Blake Lewis, a spokesman for refinery owner Alon USA.
All workers were accounted for, he said. The refinery employs about 170 people.
Fires caused by the blast were under control but still burning in the afternoon, Lewis said. The Dallas-based company was waiting for access to the site to investigate the cause of the explosion.
