A construction worker is recovering after falling into a 7-foot trench in Montgomery County.
The worker was operating a Bobcat machine while doing excavation work at a building on Taft Court in Rockville, Maryland, on Sunday.
Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Service spokesman Pete Piringer said on social media the Bobcat suddenly lurched forward, falling into the hole.
The heavy piece of machinery fell on top of the man inside the trench, Piringer said.
It took two hours for rescuers to get the man out. Piringer said the worker sustained non-life threatening injuries during the accident.
