LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Firefighters in Kentucky’s largest city have rescued a person trapped under rubble at a construction site. Fire officials say a construction worker fell into a void and some debris fell on top of him on Thursday just before noon on Thursday. The worker spoke with rescuers but couldn’t move. The rescue was shown live on local Louisville television stations. Fire Chief Brian O’Neill earlier said the worker was about 10 to 12 feet below ground. O’Neill said firefighters were on the scene within three minutes and began conducting the rescue. It took hours before they were able to get him out.
