Man freed from machine at SA timber mill

A man's leg has been broken and cut after it became caught in machinery at a South Australian timber mill.

Emergency services rushed to the Mount Gambier mill late on Monday night and found the 20-year-old trapped by the leg in a machine about three metres off the ground.

Crews used a crane-like device to free him in about 20 minutes, and he is now being treated at a Mount Gambier hospital.
