Los Angeles firefighters are trying to rescue a worker who fell into a trench in the Harbor City area this morning and apparently injured his leg, officials said.
The worker fell into the trench shortly before 8:30 a.m. during a backhoe operation in the 1600 block of West Anaheim Street, said Devin Gales, a Fire Department spokesman. It is unclear now deep the hole is but it is probably 6 to 8 feet, Gales said.
The man is believed to have suffered a leg injury and rescuers are hoping to lift him out using a litter basket, Gales said.
