A concrete worker is recovering in the hospital after his arm was amputated when it got caught in a piece of machinery Wednesday morning.

The man was clinging to life, but he managed to call 911.
The accident happened at the Alamo Concrete facility near Highway 290 and Ballerstedt Road in Manor.
Emergency crews transported the employee to Brackenridge Hospital in Austin, where he is in critical, but stable condition Wednesday afternoon.

Emergency Medical Services officials said his injuries were severe, but he was awake and alert enough to talk to medics on the way to the hospital. EMS officials said the employee was there at 4:30 a.m., warming up some equipment when his coat got entangled in a piece of machinery.

He told medics that he was stuck for what he thought was about 30 minutes until his arm was amputated.
It's not clear whether he self-amputated his arm at the elbow to free himself, or if the machinery cut off his arm.
Nobody else was on the site at the time.

"His sleeve had become entangled in a pulley or an auger, and he was mangled severely and held in place for approximately 30 minutes," said Warren Hassinger with EMS.
EMS officials also said that employee could have died there, and that piece of machinery could have pulled him in completely.

His name is not being released right now.
