Drama in Bremen
19-year-old man hit by corn chopper in Bremen
A 19-year-old man was caught in a maize chopper in Hülseberg, north of Bremen. He was pulled into the agricultural machine up to his waist and trapped between the machine's sharp teeth. An emergency operation in the field probably saved the man's life.
A terrible drama occurred during a harvest parade in the village. A man who had taken part in the festivities stepped into an adjacent cornfield - possibly to relieve himself.
"Terrible screams"
He was apparently overlooked by the driver of a maize harvester in the dense undergrowth. The harvester swallowed the man, who was pulled in up to his waist and trapped between the teeth of the machine. Witnesses heard the 19-year-old's "terrible screams" and alerted the emergency services.
Surgeon flown in
It took the rescuers around an hour to free the seriously injured young man. A rescue helicopter flew in a surgeon, who accompanied the rescue operation and performed an emergency operation in the middle of the field. The 19-year-old was then flown to Boberg Accident Hospital in Hamburg, reports Bild.
It was not disclosed whether both of the man's legs were severed. An extensive investigation was ordered.
