An explosion at an active drilling site in Windsor on Thursday injured three workers, sending one to the hospital with minor injuries.
Windsor Police Sgt. Brian Smith said police received the call about 7 p.m. regarding a small explosion related to a liquid nitrogen line at a site near Weld County Roads 62 and 15.
Smith said there was no fire involved, but the explosion injured three workers, and one worker was taken by ambulance to a hospital.
Smith said he didn't have details on the well operator, but he said it was an active site, with 56 employees on scene.
Windsor Police left the scene after a couple of hours, and Smith said state regulators would visit the site Friday, saying they didn't feel the need to come out Thursday night.
