SUMMIT COUNTY, Utah — A worker was fully buried after an apparent accident Monday evening at a construction site near Park City.
The Park City Fire District said it received a report of a person being completely buried at the site on Upper Evergreen Drive in Summit Park around 5:30 p.m.
In an update Tuesday, the Summit County Sheriff's Office said a 25-year-old man from West Jordan was buried for a "short amount of time."
The construction crew and first responders dug the buried individual out, who was then taken to the hospital. The fire district said the victim was conscious and breathing.
The sheriff's office said "a large piece of earth gave way" on the construction site, leading to the burial. Photos from the scene show large rocks and dirt that appeared to have slid down a small cliff-like wall surrounding the construction site.
