An accident late Tuesday night was caused when a large transfer machine crushed the worker's legs. Transfer machines are used to transfer heavy loads from trucks.  The worker was a part of a large project to repave a stretch of road on U.S. Route 128 that is about three miles long. 

Emergency workers responded to the accident, and the worker is currently being treated for his injuries.  The man was taken to a hospital for his injuries.  The company has not yet made a comment on the scene, and the identity of the injured man is not yet available.
