DODGE CENTER, Minn. (AP) — Investigators from Minnesota Occupational Safety and Health will investigate an explosion at a truck manufacturing plant that injured several employees. Authorities say six people were hurt in the explosion Wednesday morning at McNeilus Truck & Manufacturing in Dodge Center, in southeastern Minnesota. McNeilus is part of Oshkosh Corp. in Wisconsin. An Oshkosh Corp. spokeswoman says five injured employees were “under medical care.” She said she could not give details. The company will work with local authorities on the investigation. The plant makes cement trucks and refuse trucks and employs about 1,000 in Dodge Center, a town of 2,700 about 70 miles southeast of Minneapolis. Mayor Bill Ketchum says, “Anytime you have something like that — big town or small town — it’s a tragic thing.”
