At least 12 people are hospitalized, two of them critically injured, following a food truck explosion in Philadelphia's Feltonville neighborhood. The incident was reported around 5:30 p.m. Tuesday at 3rd and Wyoming. It was a quick and violent blast caught on tape. Startled and stunned, eyewitnesses say the explosion sent parts of the truck and a propane tank flying across the street - burning a passing car, and starting a minor fire.

Graco Children's Products is recalling 1.9 million infant car seats, in what is now the largest seat recall in American history. The recall, announced Tuesday, comes after a five-month spat between Graco and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Buckles can get gummed up by food and drinks, and that could make it hard to remove children. The agency says that increases the risk of injuries in emergencies. Infant-seat models covered by Tuesdayâ€™s recall include the SnugRide, SnugRide Classic Connect (including Classic Connect 30 and 35), SnugRide 30, SnugRide 35, SnugRide Click Connect 40, and Aprica A30. They were manufactured between July 2010 and May 2013, according to NHTSA. Graco will replace the buckles for free. Graco also is offering to send free replacement buckles to any customer, even those with seats not being recalled. The company says owners can check to see if their seats are included by going to www.GracoBuckleRecall.com or by calling (877) 766-7470.

Police say a man in his early twenties was killed in an accident Tuesday night in Philadelphiaâ€™s Torresdale neighborhood. The accident was reported shortly before 7 p.m. in the 9800 block of Frankford Avenue. According to police, the crash involved a motorcycle and a truck. Investigators say the motorcyclist was pronounced dead at the scene.
