A 29-year-old man was left critically injured on Thursday morning following an industrial accident at a factory in Krugersdorp.
ER24 said its paramedics, along with another service, arrived on the scene to find a 29-year-old man trapped by his legs inside a large machine.
'Paramedics assessed the man and found that he was in a critical condition, having sustained serious injuries to both his lower legs," said spokesperson Russel Meiring.
He said rescue paramedics, along with the workers from the factory, cut the machinery apart using a plasma cutter.
"Once freed, paramedics treated the man and provided him with advanced life support interventions. The patient was transported to a nearby private hospital for urgent treatment," Meiring said.
