A liquid nitrogen leak at a poultry plant in the US state of Georgia killed six people Thursday, with multiple others taken to the hospital, officials said.
Beth Downs, a spokesperson for Northeast Georgia Health System, said five people died at the Gainesville plant before they could be taken to the hospital, while one person died in the emergency room.
Hall County Fire Department Division Chief Zach Brackett said firefighters responded to the leak after 10am at Prime Pak Foods.
“Once the units arrived, they found a large contingent of employees that had evacuated, along with multiple victims that were in that crowd that were also experiencing medical emergencies around the facility,” Brackett told reporters in a televised news briefing.
