WOODSBORO, Texas, Rajab 06, 1437, April 13, 2016, SPA -- Two workers have been killed and another was hurt during a high-pressure release as the men repaired a South Texas gas pipeline, according to AP. Refugio (ray-FYOO'-ee-oh) County authorities say the accident happened Tuesday at a Southcross Energy Partners plant near Woodsboro. Justice of the Peace Lorraine Lopez says two men were in a hole repairing a pipeline when a piece of the line came loose, releasing about 800 pounds of pressure. One worker died at the scene. Another died at a hospital. A third man was treated at a hospital. A statement Wednesday from Dallas-based Southcross says a company employee and a contract worker were killed. Southcross says a piece of equipment used by the contract workers, including the man who was injured, apparently failed. --SPA 22:18 LOCAL TIME 19:18 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
