A beach has been evacuated and a bomb squad is on site following an explosion at Rhode Island that catapulted a 50-year-old woman into the air.
The blast – at Salty Brine Beach at around 11.15am Saturday – threw the victim several feet off the sand and on to rocks forming the beach’s jetty, authorities said.
She was taken to South County Hospital but her condition remains unknown.
Police are hunting for a possible suspect they believe may have planted an explosive device under the sand.
