Judge orders halt of debris removal in Coryell County hospital explosion
A McLennan County judge on Tuesday ordered officials at Coryell Memorial Hospital, a general contractor and others to preserve the scene of last week’s explosion at the Gatesville hospital in anticipation of a lawsuit.
Judge Vicki Menard of Waco’s 414th State District Court granted a temporary restraining order sought Tuesday by the mother of an electrician who was badly burned in the explosion.
The order prohibits hospital officials and workers from “destroying, altering, repairing, removing from the jurisdiction or otherwise failing to preserve the site of the explosion.”
The judge has scheduled a July 16 hearing to determine if she will convert the temporary restraining order into an injunction in the case.
