We are learning more about what caused an explosion at an Amherst County shopping center.

Investigators believe a vehicle hit a propane tank behind the AmbriarShoppingCenter.

That created  a leak in the tank and started a fire. The fire then caused a second tank to explode.

The explosion caused about $100,000 in damage to the University of Virginia Dialysis Center.

It's not clear when the Dialysis Center or when the stores at the shopping center will re-open.        

Two firefighters were hurt, but not seriously.
