Emergency responders are on scene. At this hour, the cause of the explosion remains unknown. Authorities have not yet released information regarding injuries, the condition of the gas station, or whether additional vehicles were involved.
This is a developing story. The Watertown Post will continue to bring updates as details trickle in, including what may have caused the explosion and whether it was mechanical, accidental, or otherwise.
