TWIN FALLS, Idaho (AP) — A south-central Idaho sugar producing company says two workers have been flown to a hospital in Salt Lake City, Utah, for burn treatment after a tank containing hot liquid overflowed.

The company says it has notified the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.

The names of the injured workers haven't been released.
