On Tuesday morning, November 3, a 57-year-old man suffered an accident at a commercial establishment located on Rua Lassance Cunha in Formiga, in the Central-West region of Minas Gerais. The incident occurred when the man's arm became trapped inside a planetary mixer.
The Fire Department was alerted to the situation at 6:43 AM. Upon arrival, firefighters found that a team from the Mobile Emergency Care Service (Samu) was already providing initial assistance to the victim, who remained conscious and oriented throughout the early stages of the response.
Firefighters assessed that dismantling the equipment was necessary to safely extract the man's arm while avoiding further damage to the machine. To facilitate this complex procedure, a qualified professional sent by the company responsible for the mixer assisted the military personnel on site.
Through this joint effort, the team successfully dismantled the mixer and freed the victim's arm. Following the rescue operation, the man was transported by the Samu team to a hospital unit to receive specialized medical attention. No further information regarding his health status after arriving at the hospital has been released.
