(NEW YORK) — The Maui Police Department in Hawaii is investigating what led to a gas grill explosion at a Kaanapali Beach condo Thursday evening that left seven people injured.
The victims’ ages range from 18 to 74, the Maui Police Department said.
Three were listed in critical condition, police said.
In livestream video obtained by ABC News, the explosion seemingly takes place in one of the middle floors of the condominium complex with beachgoers and other witnesses rushing toward the scene to help in the immediate aftermath.
The cause of the explosion remains under investigation.
“Preliminary investigations suggest that the explosion may have involved liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), which supplies common area BBQs,” police said in a statement. “Witness statements indicate a possible grill malfunction before the incident.”
