Two people died, and a third was rescued alive, after a trench reportedly collapsed near Hill Road, the Boise Fire Department reports.
The workers were in a 9-foot deep trench near the corner of North Hill Road Parkway and Gary Lane when the accident was reported at 5:35 p.m., the fire department reports. Three people were in the trench when the collapse occurred, but initial reports indicated only one of the three was visible. The others were buried.
One man was pulled free about 6 p.m., reportedly conscious and talking, according to scanner traffic. That person was transported to Saint Alphonsus Regional Medical Center with injuries described as not life-threatening. No information about his condition was available late Tuesday.
Efforts to rescue the other two soon turned to recovery, and around 7:30 p.m. the fire department confirmed that two were dead.
