FREDONIA, Wis. (CBS 58) -- A man was pulled from a trench in the village of Fredonia Wednesday afternoon, Aug. 25.
Authorities were called around 10:30 a.m. to Marie Krause Park on Wenzel Avenue for a report of a man injured in a construction accident.
Officials say a 24-year-old Port Washington man who is an employee of the Village of Fredonia Public Works Department, was working in a trench. Work was being done for the installation of pipes when the sidewall of the trench collapsed on top of him, leaving him buried chest high.

Kunstmann said the man was conscious during the rescue and rescue teams provided oxygen to him.
