A woman – 38 years old – lost her hand in an industrial accident last week in north Alabama.

Officials said Decatur Fire Department personnel responded to Wolverine Industries at 2100 Market Street, at around 2:30pm Friday, when they found the woman with a hand amputation.

According to reports, the woman, an employee at the aluminum extrusion plant, was sitting in a chair when EMS gave her a tourniquet and medicine to stabilize her.

The employee was air-lifted to UAB Hospital for treatment.
