Authorities say a trench collapse in western Michigan has left one worker dead and one rescued. Wyoming Fire Chief Chuck Lark said firefighters were called about 2 p.m. Monday to a residence where the collapse occurred.
When they arrived, one man was waist-deep in dirt, rescued and transported to a hospital while the other was completely covered. First responders were working Monday afternoon to recover the body. Lark said it appeared the workers were digging a sewer line as deep as 20 feet from a home.
The Michigan Occupational Safety and Health Administration sent investigators to the scene south of Grand Rapids.
