Summit County, Utah
A man suffered severe lower leg injuries Monday evening when he fell into an auger in Summit County.
The 52-year-old was working on an Interstate 80
construction project near Wanship, in the westbound lanes. About 6:15
p.m., he was cleaning cement equipment when he fell into the auger, said
Utah Highway Patrol Sgt. Todd Royce.
His injuries are critical, but not life-threatening, Royce said.
The man was taken in an ambulance to Wanship, where a medical helicopter moved him to a trauma center in Salt Lake City.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration will take over the investigation into how the man fell in, Royce said.
