BOONVILLE, Ind. — A woman’s arm was severed when she tried to push clothes back into a Laundromat’s coin-operated washing machine during its spin cycle, authorities said.
Norma Lee Bass, 26, was in critical but stable condition Wednesday after nine hours of surgery to reattach her lower arm, a hospital spokeswoman said.
The accident occurred Tuesday after one of her two preschool children opened the door of the machine and clothes began to fall out. One of the children called 911.
