WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 14, 2016 HERMISTONHERALD.COM • A7 LOCAL NEWS Employee injured at recycling business Hermiston Herald An employee at R.S. Davis Recycling in Herm- iston was seriously in- jured on the job Wednes- day, Dec. 7, after being momentarily pinned be- tween a front-end loader and semi-truck. Jimmy Davis, battal- ion chief with Umatilla County Fire District 1, said the victim — a man in his mid-30s — was conscious and alert when first responders arrived just before 9 a.m. The victim was taken to Good Shepherd Medical Cen- ter, Hermiston, and later flown to Legacy Emanu- el Medical Center, Port- land, with what Davis described as potentially life-threatening injuries. Davis did not release the victim’s name. R.S. Davis Recycling also declined comment when contacted. Davis said it appeared workers were trying to use the front-end loader to jump start the semi- truck, and a miscommu- nication resulted in the victim being pinned be- tween the two vehicles for roughly 10 seconds. The victim was com- plaining of back pain be- fore he was taken to the hospital, Davis said. A spokesman for Ore- gon OSHA said the agen- cy is taking a preliminary look at the incident. R.S. Davis Recycling is locat- ed north of Hermiston on Baggett Lane.
