Keegon Heath was operating a skid steer loader when it tipped over, pinning him upside down against a concrete wall, according to a report by Fox12. The accident happened in Garfield County, Utah, a “remote” area, according to the report.

Keegon’s legs were crushed, and emergency responders arrived within 15 to 20 minutes. But because of the risk of further injury, Keegon was left “suspended dangling upside down for over an hour” before he could be removed and airlifted to a hospital.

A GoFundMe page has been created to help with medical expenses for an “extensive, painful and long road to recovery.”
