A terrifying incident has occurred at a workplace in southeast Queensland, where a person became partially trapped by a piece of machinery.

Emergency services received a report of the incident on Coominya Connection Rd in Coominya just after 11am, with both fire and ambulance crews arriving on scene.

A QAS spokeswoman said paramedics assisted fire and rescue crews to free the patient’s arm, a female in her teens, which had become entrapped in the claw of a machine.

It’s understood the piece of machinery was about 4.5m above ground.

The teenager’s arm suffered a significant laceration, which was treated by paramedics at the scene.

The LifeFlight rescue helicopter landed at the scene just before 1pm and is preparing to transport the young girl to hospital.
