CBS 21 is following breaking news out of Dauphin County.  Reports say a man was trapped under a piece of heavy equipment.

The accident happened around 8 a.m. in the 5300 block of Paxton Street in Swatara Township.  Dispatchers say the piece of equipment fell off of a tractor trailer he was unloading. 

Crews have freed the man from underneath the piece of equipment and he is being taken to Penn State Hershey Medical Center for treatment. No word on the severity of his injuries.

We have a crew at the scene, and will update with more information as we get it.
