Man loses fingers in accident at plant

One person was taken by CareFlight to Miami Valley Hospital today after an accident at a Moorefield Twp. manufacturing plant.

Shortly before 9 a.m. today, emergency crews responded to K. Wm. Beach Manufacturing in the 4600 block of Urbana Road. Fire officials said a man in his 20s lacerated four fingers on his right hand in a cutting machine.

Another employee put a tourniquet on the victim and was able to stop the bleeding, officials said. The four fingers have been recovered in hopes that doctors will be able to reattach them to the victim's hand.
