A construction worker has been injured in an accident in southwest San Antonio.
The worker reportedly fell into a trench at a construction site in the 7300 block of Barlite Blvd. and Briggs Ave., near Southwest General Hospital.
That's where a crew was working on a drainage project, when a worker was knocked off the side of a 24-foot trench and fell.
The victim reportedly fell when the ladder he was standing on was hit by a falling crane bucket.
Fire rescue crews on the ground and hovering above the scene engineered a way to get him out and into a waiting ambulance.
They managed to get the 28-year-old out with what is described as non-life threatening injuries. He is being treated at University Hospital.
