Accident at work - man's arm crushed by metal machinery
A worker at a Shropshire factory had to be airlifted to hospital after his arm was crushed by machinery.
West Midlands Ambulance Service and Midlands Air Ambulance were called to Novelis UK in Stourbridge Road, Bridgnorth after a Telford man's arm had become trapped between a lifting device and a roll of metal, the ambulance service said.
The man, who is aged in his 40s, was flown to Selly Oak Hospital in Birmingham for treatment.
