ASHLAND CITY, Tenn. (AP) -- A Tennessee woman's leg has been amputated in an incident involving a rope and a wood chipper.

Cheatham County Sheriff Mike Breedlove says a medical helicopter took the woman to Vanderbilt University Medical Center for treatment. WKRN-TV reports the woman also suffered a severe injury to her other leg.
Breedlove says the woman was working with at least one other person to trim trees in a residential area.
