A man was hospitalized after being stuck in machinery Thursday at a scrapyard in Everett, Massachusetts.
The U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration said Thursday afternoon it was investigating a workplace incident. A large number of firefighters and other first responders worked to rescue a man at Scrap It, a facility on 2nd Street.
Everett Mayor Carlo DeMaria said firefighters arrived at the scrapyard to find a man trapped in a piece of heavy machinery.
"The male patient was removed from the equipment after several hours with the assistance of additional medical personnel that were brought in," DeMaria said in a statement.
