Trapped man rescued from loader

A Waimate man had to be rescued by a team of firefighters after he became trapped in a loader yesterday afternoon.

Emergency services staff were sent to Waimate's William St and Holmes St area about 2.30pm, after it was reported a man was trapped under a bulldozer.

Waimate Volunteer Fire Brigade chief Duncan Lyall said his team was relieved to find the man well, but trapped between the steering wheel and seat, after he slipped.

Mr Lyall described the man as being in an ''all right'' condition.
