A cave in at a construction site on Mill Creek Drive May 13 trapped two workers from the Orion TownshipDepartment of Public Works.
The accident occurred near High Grove Way, as three DPW workers; a 32-year-old Grafton man, 32-year-old Joslyn Court man, and 56-year-old Joslyn Court man; were down in an eight-foot hole underground, doing a water tap. The sidewalk caved in on the men, trapping two as they were buried up to their waists in dirt.
One of the buried men had a leg injury. Co-workers dug out the men and they were treated by Orion Fire. The man with the leg injury was transported to POH for additional treatment.
