“All I did was put my fingers, hand, down a little bit into the chute,” Johnson said. “Not the whole chute, just the top. And somehow, it sucked my elbow right in.”
Firefighters were able to take apart Johnson’s snowblower and free his arm.
Johnson received seven stitches to his hand.
While Johnson was at the hospital firefighters put the snowblower back together and finished clearing his driveway and dug out his wife’s car.
