5 workers overcome by carbon monoxide at NJ farm

HAMMONTON, N.J. (AP) - March 13, 2011

Hammonton police say the five - whose names were not released - were found outside a greenhouse on the farm around 8:20 a.m. They were taken to Virtua Berlin Hospital for treatment and were expected to fully recover.

The leak apparently was caused by a faulty heater or pipe in the greenhouse on the Pine Road property, but officials say the investigation is ongoing.
