A TEENAGER who was crushed in a machine at work has been discharged from hospital.

Keiran Rhodes-Taylor, 18, of Central Avenue, Oswaldtwistle, was being trained on a machine used to flatten bags at Joseph Metcalf Ltd, Vine Mill, Brookside Lane, when he got caught in it.

The accident happened last Thursday and Keiran suffered a fractured skull and broken jaw and was on a ventilator at Blackburn Royal Infirmary for two days.

The teenager is now back at home after undergoing an operation on his jaw on Tuesday.
