Narrative

An employee was digging out and cleaning a 10-foot deep trench he'd just finished excavating. He climbed into the trench to conduct a sewer line repair and the trench collapsed on top of him. As a result of the cave-in, another employee jumped into the trench to save him, causing further injury. The employee was severely bruised and was hospitalized.
