FARGO (KVRR) – A man was rescued after being pinned under a crane in Breckenridge on Thursday.

On Sept. 27 at about 10:45 a.m., emergency dispatchers received a report of an equipment injury involving a crane.

Upon arrival, first responders found 58-year-old James Jawaski in the cab of a tipped over crane nearĀ Woodcrest Drive and River Bend Trail.

Both of Jawaski’s legs were pinned under the construction equipment.

Rescuers used a front-end loader and were able to lift the crane from Jawaski’s legs.

He was then airlifted to Sanford Hospital in Fargo for treatment.

Jawaski reportedly suffered serious, but non-life threatening injuries to both legs.
