VIDEO: Fire officials have rescued a man who was trapped under material at a Paulding County concrete plant.
The incident happened Tuesday at Wayne Davis Concrete along Hailey Path in Dallas, Georgia.
Paulding County fire officials confirmed to Channel 2 Action News that a man in his mid-30s became stuck in a hopper.
Emergency crews were up against time during the dramatic rescue.
Their skills played a huge role as they rescued a worker who was nearly neck-deep into three tons of sand.
“We got here and we couldn’t actually see the top of his head,” said Lt. Josh Collier of the Paulding County Fire Department.
Not long after that, there was a second collapse of material burying the man even deeper.
“You can see it’s approximately 20 to 25 feet down. He had material on top of him and underneath him so he was trapped,” Collier explained.
