A worker who was on a garbage truck has been critically injured following an accident that occurred early Wednesday morning. 

The worker from a D&L Disposable and Recycling company was on the back of the garbage truck when the accident happened.  A 70 year-old driver did not see the garbage truck before he hit it.  After he hit it,  he pinned the worker on the back of the truck between the truck and his car.  

The worker had to be flown to a local hospital where he is in critical condition.
