LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — At least 11 employees were taken to hospitals after an explosion on Tuesday at a Louisville, Kentucky, business that produces natural color for foods and drinks.

Associated PressLOUISVILLE, Ky. — At least 11 employees were taken to hospitals after an explosion on Tuesday at a Louisville, Kentucky, business that produces natural color for foods and drinks.

The University of Louisville Hospital treated seven of the people injured and two of them are in critical condition, said Dr. Jason Smith, chief medical officer for University of Louisville Health. Hospital officials activated decontamination procedures for the victims, a process that involves removing their clothing and all the chemicals on them and then taking them for evaluation and treatment, Smith said.

Greenberg said officials have accounted for everyone who was working at the plant at the time of the explosion. Officials would not comment on the severity of the employees' injuries. The blast knocked out several windows in a nearby business district, and many were boarded up as night fell. Livers said no one was home at the time of the explosion. He said the explosion blew out windows up and down his street.
