Ten people were hospitalized Saturday morning following a propane gas explosion that triggered a fire and partial roof collapse at a bakery in the Miami area suburb of Florida City, authorities said.

Miami-Dade Fire Rescue received a call at 8:51 a.m. local time reporting an explosion at a strip mall near the 900 block of West Palm Drive. First responders arrived at Palm Bakery, located at 941 West Palm Drive, and found a partially collapsed roof and multiple injured victims.

Two people were classified as trauma alerts and rushed to a nearby trauma center, while six others were transported with less severe injuries requiring basic life support, fire officials said. Two more victims self-transported to a nearby hospital prior to responders’ arrival, authorities said.
