(Gazette photo) A loud boom heard across Rock County Thursday morning may be attributed to a vehicle exploding.
Residents who live several miles apart in Janesville reported on Facebook hearing a loud bang and feeling their homes shake.
Several people from Milton and some from the town of Johnstown, Edgerton and other locations also reported hearing a loud noise.
Later in the day WCLO learned that sheriff’s office personnel were parked in a field near the intersection of Manogue and Kennedy Roads between Janesville and Milton investigating a vehicle that exploded.
A Sheriff’s Office patrol sergeant confirmed an explosion but declined to give anymore information including whether the explosion was the same loud noise residents heard earlier in the day.
