Only Minor Injuries Reported In Trench Collapse Near Halbur

A man is fortunate to escape relatively unharmed after a trench collapsed on him Tuesday morning. At approximately 10:30 a.m., the Halbur Fire Department responded to the scene of the cave-in a few miles northeast of Halbur. A construction team was attempting to trench a ditch at the time and one of the workers, whose name has not been released, was standing in the channel when the walls buckled. When first-responders arrived, they found the individual partially buried in the soil. Using shovels, the firefighters had the man uncovered in about 20 minutes. The victim was transported to St. Anthony Hospital by Carroll County Emergency Medical Services for treatment of suspected minor injuries.
