VINEYARD, Utah — Multiple people were hospitalized early Wednesday after a gas leak inside a Vineyard home.

The Utah County Sheriff's Office says six people were taken to the hospital, with two in critical condition, after the carbon monoxide leak at the home near 300 North and 750 East.

First responders received a call just after 3 a.m.

Of the six people treated, four were in the home, including three young children, and two were in the garage.

A 24-year-old woman received CPR at the scene and was taken to Timpanogos Hospital in critical condition, and is being transported to another hospital in Murray.

Both the woman and another patient remain hospitalized in critical condition. All the others involved in the incident, including the children, have been released.

The sheriff's office believes the source of the carbon monoxide was a car running in the garage, although they're not sure why it was running. All appliances inside the home were checked and appeared normal.

Carbon monoxide alarms alerted those inside the house that there was a leak of some sort.
