Crews rescued a worker who became trapped in a ditch outside a Chester County school Wednesday afternoon.
He was working on a sewer line outside of the Uwchlan Hills Elementary School at Norwood and Beech streets in Downingtown when the ground around him collapsed and he got trapped up to his waist around 2 p.m., Chester County dispatchers said.
Various emergency responders worked to free the man and eventually pulled him out shortly before 5 p.m. He was taken to Paoli Hospital. Officials have not yet revealed his condition.
