Trench collapse kills 1, injures another in Pa.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Authorities say a trench collapse in eastern Pennsylvania has killed one construction worker and injured another.
Allentown fire officials say the workers were on a bridge when the trench in which they were working collapsed, hitting them with gravel and concrete.
Assistant Fire Chief Lee Laubach (LAW'-bahk) says one of the workers was extricated around 10 a.m. Tuesday, more than an hour after the collapse. He says the worker is in serious but stable condition.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Chief Deputy Coroner Paul Zondlo says the other worker, 20-year-old Michael J. Wilson of Downingtown, was pronounced dead at the scene. An autopsy is planned for Thursday.
Laubach says they were employed by J.D. Eckman Inc., a road and bridge construction company based in Atglen. A message left with a company official wasn't immediately returned.
