KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - A winter storm is closing in on Kansas City, Mo., and crews are rushing to finish the search for more possible victims of Tuesday night's natural gas explosion at a popular restaurant.

The body of one victim has been recovered.

The blast injured 15 other people, six of whom remain hospitalized.

Authorities say a subcontractor working for a cable company hit a gas line with underground boring equipment. Then something inside the restaurant ignited the fuel.
