Truck Exploded on FDR Highway in NYC

I don't have many specifics about this yet but the opening story on the 5:00 news was that a truck exploded traveling on NY's FDR highway (runs along the East side of Manhattan) at around 3pm today. They say they think it was a propane gas explosion??? There is not much known yet but traffic is a mess and highways have been closed anywhere close to the explosion. I'll post more when known.

EDIT: Just saw additional footage and there are police and other officials standing around the truck so I doubt it's anything dangerous. Looks like it might have been a mobile food truck and it's propane gas tanks exploded for some reason.

It was a food truck's propane tank that went off. Two injured according to article, not life threatening.
