Norman — A woman who suffered burns and lacerations in a Blanchard house explosion earlier this month was released from an Oklahoma City hospital Thursday, a hospital spokesperson said.
Brooke Cayot, Integris Baptist Medical Center spokesperson said Tanya Sumner, 25, was discharged from the facility Thursday afternoon. Sumner had been a patient there since she was transported immediately after the blast March 7.
Sumner, her father, Richard Hoff, 68, and Sumner’s 2-year-old daughter, Bella, were inside their house when the explosion occurred about 8 a.m. at 28755 S. Meridian Ave. The blast leveled the home, McClain County Sheriff’s Department officials said.
Cayot said Hoff remained in critical condition. All three victims were airlifted to Integris Baptist Medical Center after the blast. Bella Sumner later was transported to a burn facility at Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas. Her condition has not been released because of privacy rules.
Investigators said the blast may have been the result of a gas leak.
