Humane Society employee saved after getting trapped in tipped trailer

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

A Central Missouri Humane Society employee had to be saved by firefighters after they became trapped in a food storage trailer that tipped over on Friday morning.

CMHS wrote in a press release that hundreds of pounds of food fell around the employee. No injuries were reported and firefighters were able to pull the woman free.

“This was a very scary situation. We are just grateful that no one was hurt,” CMHS Executive Director Julie Aber said in the release. “The reality is our shelter has been degrading for years. It’s not safe for our animals, our staff, or members of the public. We have to raise the funds for a new facility, and we have to do it now.”
