A United Airlines worker was seriously injured on Sunday in an accident at a New Jersey Airport.

The unidentified employee was working at Newark Airport when a vehicle carrying trays of foods for an airline hit a luggage cart, which then hit the worker, leaving him pinned.

The incident occurred at 9:20a.m. and the worker was taken to a local hospital right away, United spokeswoman Christen David told NJ.com. The worker is being treated for serious injuries.

"A United supervisor is at the hospital to provide support and assistance to the injured employee and his family," David said.

David did not provide any other details about the incident.
