OCRACOKE, N.C. (AP) — Authorities say a fireworks explosion on a North Carolina island only reachable by ferry has killed one worker and critically injured four others.
Hyde County spokeswoman Jamie Tunnell says everyone hurt Saturday worked for a company setting up the annual Independence Day fireworks display on the Ocracoke Island docks.
Authorities say no danger remains, and ferries are running again.
