SAN ANTONIO – A woman is being treated for injuries she suffered after getting caught in a piece of equipment at a North Side food processing plant.
San Antonio firefighters responded to Andy Garcia Foods, located in the 1800 block of Jackson Keller Road, around 4:30 a.m. Wednesday.
They say they found a woman caught in a piece of machinery known as a chopper/mixer.
Firefighters say the woman was cleaning the machine when she became lodged in it from the waist down somehow.

The woman did not suffer any life-threatening injuries but was taken to a hospital by ambulance for evaluation.
According to its website, Garcia Foods makes chorizo and barbarcoa, among other items, inside the plant.
