A man was injured Sunday afternoon in Penn Township when a skid loader overturned and trapped him.

The man was transported to Forbes Hospital in Monroeville, a Westmoreland 911 dispatcher confirmed. The severity of his injuries wasn’t available.

A skid loader is a machine used to move dirt and rock, similar to a small bulldozer.
