(Courtesy Colleton County Fire-Rescue)Colleton County Fire-Rescue officials say they rescued a tree company employee Wednesday afternoon after he became trapped under a roughly 16,000 pound track lift. Crews were dispatched to the 230 block of Carolina Circle around 4:30 p.m. Fire-rescue officials said a large piece of equipment was operating in a wooded area down a deep embankment when it tipped over uneven ground. It ended up falling on an employee, trapping him beneath it.

He was treated during the removal process then transported to the Trauma Center at Trident Medical Center. Rescue equipment and cribbing had to be carried down the embankment and crews used two sets of Holmatro high pressure lifting bags to stabilize the machine first. Crews said they cribbed the machinery in place, then lifted it about one and a half feet so the man could be extricated. All in all, officials said the extrication took about 35 minutes.
