KEY POINTS:
A roadside worker was lucky to escape with a few bruises yesterday after being crushed between a digger and the side of a trailer in Manawatu.
The 54-year-old from Feilding was hit just after midday, said Square Trust Rescue Helicopter spokesman Chris Filzwieser. "He was lucky - it looked quite bad but it seems nothing was broken. He's just got really severe bruising."
