A man is recovering in the hospital after being accidentally crushed inside a trash truck on Wednesday morning.
According to officials, the man was believed to be sleeping inside a dumpster when a sanitation crew unknowingly emptied it into their truck. As the compacting process began, workers heard moaning from inside the truck and quickly stopped the machinery.
Emergency crews arrived on the scene and used specialized equipment to free the man, who suffered serious injuries to his legs. Business owners nearby described the rescue as extraordinary yet sensitive, grateful that the sanitation workers spotted the man in time to prevent a more tragic outcome.
Witnesses described hearing screams of the man from inside the truck and say he was not clothed when removed. Read more about the trash truck accident
