BANGOR DAILY NEWS • July 9, 2020

Adam Dube, 34, was operating the machine at Hilltop Farms when the baler’s steel pinch rollers clawed onto his right pant leg and sucked the limb in. The round baler chewed away at Dube’s calf, tearing off flesh down to the bone. A friend who was already on his way to help out on the farm transported Dube to Northern Maine Medical Center from which Crown Ambulance Services transported him to Northern Light Eastern Maine Medical Center.
