4,000-pound Chunk Of Asphalt Pins Construction Worker In Trench
August 15, 2005
A construction worker got trapped in a five-foot deep trench for about an hour Wednesday in the intense heat.
The incident happened when workers had been installing a fire hydrant system at Durrance Elementary School in Orange County.
They called 9-1-1 and Orange County fire workers got him out.
Paramedics treated Roedell as soon as they freed him from the clutches of a 4,000-pound chunk of asphalt. Roedell was taken to a hospital.
The construction crew works for Anderson Fire Sprinklers, a sub-contractor of T & G Construction, which works for the school district.
The fire department said it called OSHA to investigate.
