A Toccoa Public Works employee was seriously injured Friday at the recycling center on Swift Street.
Zackary Johnson lost both feet after they were crushed while he was working with the recycling center baler, city officials said.
City Manager Billy Morse made a brief comment to WNEG News in Toccoa about the incident.
“He was working there and had a catastrophic injury and it’s just terrible," Morse said. "We’re hoping for the best."
Johnson was flown to Northeast Georgia Medical Center, where he underwent surgery and further treatment.
