Crews are searching for a worker who remains unaccounted for following a fatal explosion at a southern Wisconsin corn mill.

The blast and fire were reported Wednesday night at the Didion Milling Plant in Cambria, a small village about 45 miles northeast of Madison. At least two people were killed, including a worker whose body was pulled from the rubble on Thursday.

Cambria Village Clerk Lois Frank says local fire department officials say the search for another missing worker continued Friday at the site.

Nearly a dozen other people were taken to hospitals following the explosion and fire. None of the victims has been identified. Authorities say 16 people were inside the plant at the time.
