One Person Dead In Trench Collapse

November 8, 2019 4:16 pm

A man in Washington County died Friday afternoon after becoming trapped in a trench that collapsed at a home in the 100 block of Brehm Road in North Strabane Township.  Emergency responders were called out just after one o’clock following reports that a man had become trapped at the bottom of what they’re calling a 10-foot-deep trench.  Authorities say it appears that the man was working on a sewer line when the hole caved in, but the investigation is still active.
