A 53-year-old man was seriously injured Tuesday while pumping hot oil from a tanker truck to a holding tank at the Ozaukee County asphalt plant in the Town of Saukville.

The Portage resident, who is an employee of the company that delivers oil to the plant at 3979 Lakeland Rd., was sprayed with hot oil when there was a problem with the transfer, according to the Ozaukee County Sheriff’s Office, which said the accident happened at 11:15 a.m. Sept. 27.

The man was flown by a Flight For Life helicopter to Ascension Columbia St. Mary’s Regional Burn Center in Milwaukee.

Saukville, Grafton, Port Washington and Fredonia fire departments responded to the accident.
