Authorities say dozens of people became sick when a semitrailer's exhaust fumes got into an industrial park building
in Indianapolis.
Fire Capt. Rita Burris says emergency crews were called to 5101 Decatur Blvd. near Indianapolis International Airport about
11 a.m. Monday after workers noticed an odor from the vehicle fumes.
She says 20 people were taken to hospitals for treatment of apparent minor illnesses and about 80 others were examined at
the scene.
About 260 Lockheed Martin employees work in the building. Burris says the fumes came from a semi-tractor for the IndyCar
team Vision Racing that was switching trailers at another part of the building.
Fire crews allowed workers to return to the building after the fumes cleared.
