Miami Construction Worker Rescued from Hole

The Miami Herald reported today that "A construction worker was pulled out of an eight-foot-deep hole Monday near Griffin Road in Southwest Ranches.

The man, 36, who was not immediately identified, was helping lay pipes as part of a street-widening project near Southwest 170th Avenue. Just before 11 a.m., Broward Fire-Rescue received a call that the man was stuck in the hole.

When firefighters arrived, they saw the man leaning over a 42-inch pipe. He said the concrete pipe struck him in the midsection, according to spokesman Mike Jachles.

He was airlifted to Memorial Regional Hospital."

That's all I know so far. I'll report more if I can.
