Employee at International Paper Coosa mill hospitalized following accident

GEORGIA (From news reports) -- A Rome man was seriously injured in an accident at International Paper in Coosa late Wednesday, April 24.

A number of social media posts have gone up, asking the community to pray for Timmy Obenlander.

Kelly Trumbo, communications manager with International Paper, confirmed there was an incident on-site Wednesday evening where a team member was injured and transported to a local hospital.

They are in the investigative process to determine exactly what happened, adding that safety is a priority.

"We want to make sure that we are taking care of our team members," she said.

Trumbo added that she did not have any more specifics at this time, but will release more information once it is known.

According to Roger Haggard, Battalion Chief with the Rome Fire Department, Obenlander had already been freed from the machine and was receiving medical treatment when firefighters arrived on the scene.

A GoFundMe page has been set up to help cover Obenlander's medical bills.
