Man Rescued After Trench Collapse in Sibley Co

A man was rescued after a trench collapsed on him Tuesday morning in Sibley County, about four miles north of Winthrop.

The Sheriff’s Office says 24-year-old Nicholas Harvey of Buffalo was installing drain tile when the walls of the trench gave way submerging him up to his waist in dirt and mud and trapping him.

After other employees and emergency personnel freed him, he was taken to a local hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries.
