A natural gas explosion at a Gainesville, Texas, restaurant has left one person in critical condition.

Parkland Memorial Hospital officials in Dallas said that four people also are in serious condition after the explosion a day earlier in the kitchen of a Mexican restaurant. Three women, a young girl and a toddler were flown to the hospital with burns.

Hospital officials would not say which victim remained in critical condition.

Fire officials told The Dallas Morning News that they have not determined the cause of the explosion, but most of the damage occurred inside the building.
