CLEVELAND, Ga. — A White County man suffered non-life threatening injuries Wednesday afternoon while installing a waterline for Freeman Electric and the ground around him caved in.
Cleveland Fire Chief Ricky Pruitt said the man suffered back and leg injuries and was transported to Northeast Georgia Medical Center in Gainesville.
Units from the Cleveland Fire Department and White County EMS arrived shortly after the accident and began clearing the dirt to free the man.
Pruitt said the man was working in a trench less than four-feet deep. A trench box is required to protect workers if the trench is deeper than four feet.
