The man was being evaluated and was expected to be taken to a hospital for observation, McCarty said.
The trench collapsed about 1:15 p.m. at a construction site in the Hampshires subdivision off Freemanville Road. The man had been digging a sewer drain, McCarty said.
A trench support frame was present, but the trench wasn't big enough yet to accommodate it, police said.
