A MEATWORKER has a suspected fractured pelvis after a cow crushed him against a wall in Melbourne's west.
The 48-year-old man was pinned against the wall as he tried to coax the beast along a corridor at Brooklyn about 2.30pm 23 September 2010.
The injured worker has been taken to The Alfred hospital in a stable condition. This is the second serious injury to a drover at the same workplace in less than a year.
