A Bonners Ferry mill worker who was injured in a machinery accident has been flown to Seattle for further treatment.
Martin Riebe was initially taken to Kootenai Health after getting caught in a piece of machinery Thursday. In Coeur d'Alene, Ribe underwent surgery, which resulted in his leg being amputated before he was taken to Seattle, according to the page.
Ribe is a husband and father of seven children.
A 42-year-old employee of a local pulp mill had gotten caught in some equipment and suffered serious injuries Thursday.
According to Boundary Ambulance, responders arrived after a report of a patient trapped in logging machinery off Cow Creek Rd.
The employee had to be extricated from the machinery and was flown to Kootenai Medical by Lifeflight helicopter, according to the county.

Please say prayers for this young father.
We often forget how dangerous industrial jobs are in the US and the grievous injuries that can happen to workers in dangerous jobs. Every day workers in mills, refineries, power plants, construction, fishing boats, and many others work to bring us the products and luxuries we all enjoy.
This story is just heartbreaking - this young dad with seven young kids with a very serious injury to his leg, pelvis and abdomen.
