SUNBURY, Ohio (WCMH) -- One man was buried up to his neck in dirt and mud after a trench collapse Monday at a Delaware County subdivision.
According to BST&G Fire Chief Jeff Kovach, the crew was installing storm drains and waste management systems about 30 feet underground at a subdivision on Titleist Drive and Mill Stone Drive in Sunbury when the trench collapsed.
Kovach said the man was buried up to his neck in dirt and mud for more than two hours as about a dozen first responding agencies worked by hand to dig him out; the wet dirt made the rescue efforts that much harder, the chief added.
"You have to be extremely careful," Kovach said. "It's one of the most hazardous rescues you can perform. Like the mayor had said, these typically end in tragedy, and the fact that both the victims survived is amazing in itself, but very labor intensive, a lot of equipment, a lot of personnel, especially with the heat and humidity."
Two other people were hospitalized due to injuries related to the heat after trying to rescue their coworker. The conditions of those hospitalized have not been released.
