Arm severed at Seattle fortune cookie factory

SEATTLE, WA

Moore told The Seattle Times medics found the man conscious and alert but in a lot of pain at the Tsue Chong Co. in Seattle's Chinatown International District.

Firefighters freed the man and brought him to Harborview Medical Center, along with his severed arm. Moore says they don't know if doctors will be able to reattach the limb.

State Department of Labor & Industries spokeswoman Elaine Fischer says safety inspectors were at the scene and will investigate what happened. She says the fortune cookie plant doesn't have a history of safety violations.
