Fatal Richland County house explosion death of Krista Cramer – Obituary
A house explosion in Richland County on Friday afternoon resulted in the death of one individual and injuries to two others. The incident occurred on Hook Road in Springfield Township, close to the intersection with state Route 314.
The explosion, which was reported at 1:17 p.m., devastated the residence, leaving a significant amount of debris. Krista Cramer, a 47-year-old from Lexington, was found deceased in the basement.
A man who was also in the basement was airlifted to a medical facility in Columbus. Fire Chief Adam Spellman noted that the man survived due to a chair he was using, which protected him from both the falling debris and the flames.
Another survivor, a woman who was outside the house at the time, was taken to a hospital in Mansfield. She was outside walking her dog when the explosion occurred, and she and her husband owned the property.
Neighbors reported that the people inside the house were contractors investigating an issue with the basement, which the homeowners had recently complained about due to a strange odor.
Richland County and State Fire Marshal’s Office investigators were on the scene, sifting through the wreckage to determine the cause of the blast.
