(Kingsbury, IN) - A medical helicopter was called this afternoon because of a serious workplace injury at Kingsbury Industrial Park.

Initial reports indicate a 70 year old man suffered what was described by emergency responders as a “machinery laceration” at Industrial Maintenance Welding and Machining Co. on Second Line Road near Hupp Road.

The man was reported to be an employee of the company.

The medical helicopter was on its way when talks between a medic and dispatcher indicated the bleeding was being controlled by a tourniquet applied to the major cut somewhere on his body.
