A Smithfield Foods employee was critically injured Tuesday afternoon when her shirt caught on a piece of machinery at the company's Clinton, N.C., plant, pulling her into the machine, according to a report in The Sampson Independent in Clinton, Sampson County, N.C.
Vivian Griffin Raynor, 54, reportedly was working on a "jowl press" when her shirt was caught. She was airlifted to UNC Hospitals in Chapel Hill to be treated for internal injuries, the paper said.
By Thursday morning her condition had been upgraded to "serious," but no further details were available about her injuries, a hospital spokesman told Meatingplace.
