CORPUS CHRISTI — A man’s leg was severed in an accident on an offshore oil rig supply vessel Friday, officials said.

Coast Guard Air Station Corpus Christi sent a helicopter rescue crew and a patrol boat to the Sandra Sino, roughly 27 miles offshore about 3 p.m., according to a news release.

The man was working alongside the oil rig when his leg got tangled in a mooring line, officials said.

The Coast Guard took the man to Christus Spohn Hospital Memorial where he was listed in critical but stable condition, the release said.
