The Canadian Center Occupational Health and Safety is investigating an accident at a feed operation in Mount Pearl, NL after an employee suffered injuries after being trapped in a grain silo, CBC News reported Thursday.

A 58-year-old worker at the Country Ribbon feed operation was temporarily trapped in the silo on Wednesday morning, the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary told CBC News, and was later freed by a co-worker and first responders.

Fire and rescue crews responded to a call of an incident at the Country Ribbon feed store at about 9:30 am on Wednesday morning. As of Thursday, CBC News reported that the man is in hospital care  and listed in stable condition.
