A massive blast at an industrial facility in Logan Township, New Jersey, sent five people to the hospital on Wednesday afternoon. The explosion occurred around 2:36 p.m. at Savita Naturals, a commercial facility on the 600 block of Heron Drive in Swedesboro that processes cocoa butter for the chocolate industry.

Gloucester County officials said four of the injured individuals were taken to the hospital in critical condition. One of them is the owner of the facility, according to a relative who spoke with Action News. Another person from a nearby facility had a medical emergency and was also hospitalized. There was no word on their condition.

A county spokesperson added that all employees at the facility were accounted for. Several propane tanks are on the decades-old site for production, but the exact cause of the blast remains under investigation. The explosion was felt across the immediate area – even across the river in Delaware County, Pennsylvania.
