A street vendor's hand was crushed after getting stuck inside an electric rolling machine used to extract juice from sugarcane stalks.<br /><br />Pimphon Yamsakun, 58, was preparing a customer's order when her fingers were sucked into the machine.<br /><br />The shopkeeper screamed for help as her hand was then dragged into the metal rollers at her business in Ayutthaya, central Thailand on August 28.<br /><br />Paramedics rushed to the shop and spent almost an hour removing her bleeding hand out of the machine.<br /><br />The volunteers later transferred the woman to a nearby hospital where they stitched her wrist wounds.<br /><br />The woman is in stable condition now but she will need to see specialists for treatment on her wrist and delicate finger bones.<br /><br />Pimphon said: "I was shocked, everything happened so quickly. Working on the machine is new to me so I did not know what to do."<br /><br />The vendor added that she recently bought the fruit pulping tool last week and had not been familiar with it yet. <br /><br />She said that as soon as her wounds are recovered, she will fire up the machine to start making the sugarcane juice.<br /><br />Pimphon added: ''This time I will learn how to operate it properly and I will be more careful.''<br /><br />Fresh sugarcane juice is a popular drink sold at street stands around Thailand for as little as 20 baht (0.60usd) a bottle.
