OCRACOKE, N.C. - A fourth victim has died in the Fourth of July fireworks disaster on Ocracoke Island on North Carolina's Outer Banks.
The blast at Ocracoke came as workers were unloading fireworks Saturday from a truck at the Anchorage Marina, shaking homes and businesses across the southern end of Ocracoke Island and rattling residents and tourists.
One of the workers died at the scene Saturday and three others died later at area hospitals, including one who died on Sunday, said Hyde County spokeswoman Jamie Tunnell.
