Myrtle Beach firefighters freed a man trapped under a packer at Serena & La Costa Drives in the Grande Dunes subdivision.
The man was working with the packer when it went down a drop off and tipped over, pinning the man underneath at his mid-thigh, according to Myrtle Beach Fire Capt. Charlie Miller.
A man driving by saw what happened and tried to keep the packer up with his tractor until rescue crews arrived, Capt. Miller said.
Firefighters used air bags and wood cribbing to lift the packer.
They took the man to Grand Strand Regional Medical Center. Firefighters could not tell us his condition at this time.
