A trench collapse in Texas has injured a worker.  The worker was trapped in the trench from 30 to 45 minutes as the other workers scrambled to get the man to safety.

The worker was a part of a project to install sewer lines in the trench.  

Confusion is occurring over the cause of the accident or events leading up to it.  Officials are hoping to figure out how the worker ended up in the trench or if he was ordered to get in.  A investigation should have occurred, however the trench that the man fell into has already been covered up.
