A woman in her 20s was seriously injured this afternoon after her arm got caught in a machine at a restaurant in Westville, KwaZulu Natal.
ER24 paramedics, along with other services, arrived on the scene and were immediately ushered into the kitchen.
A woman was found with her arm crushed in what was thought to be a pasta-making machine.
Paramedics began treating the patient while rescue services had to use rescue tools to carefully break apart the machine.
After some time, paramedics were able to free the woman’s arm, but found that she had sustained severe injuries to her hand and arm.
The patient was treated for her injuries and provided with advanced life support interventions. She was thereafter transported to hospital for urgent treatment.
