ASTON, Pa. (AP) — Authorities say one worker is dead and another is injured after an accident at a sewer plant outside Philadelphia.

The accident happened around 11:30 a.m. Thursday at the Southwest Delaware County Sewer Authority pumping station in Aston. The Delaware County Daily Times reports (http://bit.ly/qq4cKo ) four workers were cleaning a valve and two of them inside a well fell unconscious.

Rescue teams pulled the men out of the well. The other two weren't harmed and plant supervisor Fred Tasker tells the newspaper that officials have interviewed them in an attempt to determine exactly what happened.
