Trench collapses in Milton, traps worker

DEVELOPING STORY: A trench has collapsed in the Hampshires subdivision in Milton trapping a construction worker in waist-deep dirt. The collapse occurred around 1:30pm. Fire departments from Atlanta, Forsyth County, Alpharetta and Milton are on-scene along with Rural Metro ambulance and Rescue Air, if case he needs to be airlifted.
Due to additional dirt surrounding him, rescue workers cannot just dig him out. A two hour extraction process is expected with the use of a vacuum truck.
