Emergency responders in Johnson County rescued a man stuck from the waist down in a 10-foot trench in Leawood, authorities said Friday afternoon. Authorities responded at 2:50 p.m. to the 10000 block of Meadow Lane in Leawood. The person who was stuck in the trench was awake and stable, said Alyson Angell, public affairs officer for Johnson County’s Department of Emergency Services. “These types of rescues are very tricky as we have to be very careful not to vibrate the ground in any way and trigger more dirt to collapse,” Leawood Fire Chief Colin Fitzgerald said in a news release.
