An 18-foot hole was being repaired when a man ended up trapped in it. The man was attempting to connect a bucket on a backhoe when the ground gave way underneath the bucket, which then slid down the embankment and trapped the man. It took about two hours to pull the man out and he was taken to the hospital for treatment of unspecified injuries.
