A man injured in a chemical explosion in Holdrege in south central Nebraska remains hospitalized.

Cody Hines, of Holdrege, was injured last Saturday in the blast at a storage building at Reliable Pest Control Services Inc.

Phelps County Attorney Tim Hoeft said an 85-pound cylinder failed and caused an explosion. He said the tank became a missile and hit Hines.

The building was evacuated and sealed off.

Hines is hospitalized in Kearney. He was listed in serious condition.

The cause of the accident remains under investigation.
