A worker was trapped under a building after a trench collapse at a Coppell apartment building Thursday, Dallas fire officials said.
Workers were digging a tunnel under a building in the 2200 block of Sage Hill when the tunnel collapsed and trapped one of the men, according to Dallas Fire-Rescue.
First responders arrived around 3:20 p.m., and the department's urban search and rescue team was called in to remove him. The unidentified man was still trapped as of 6:40 p.m. and his condition is unknown.
Firefighters could be seen digging around the building to secure his release Thursday evening.
The building remains intact, the department said.
