A 25-year-old man lost his leg Friday in a farming accident in Newdale, a small town about 15 miles northeast of Rexburg.

Deputies with the Fremont County Sheriff’s Office received a 911 call at 5:37 p.m. about a man who had become stuck in an augur at the silos in Newdale, according to a news release from the sheriff’s office.

Deputies responded and located a 25-year-old Arizona man laying on the ground next to the silo. Authorities are not releasing the man’s name to ensure privacy for him and his family.

The man’s left leg had been amputated from the accident just below the hip, the sheriff’s office said.

The man was awake and conscious when first responders arrived and a tourniquet was put in place.

The man was transported via Madison County ground ambulance to Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center in Idaho Falls. South Fremont Fire also arrived on scene and provided assistance.
