A worker has been seriously hurt in an accident at a Queenstown tortilla company.
Emergency services were called to the company on Industrial Place just before 5pm, senior fire service communicator Mau Barbara said.

Firefighters pulled the
person's arm free from a conveyor belt around 5.15pm, Barbara said.
