It happened on a city sewer project behind Dearborn County Hospital.

The victim was working for an outside contractor, Lawrenceburg Fire Chief Randy Ebner said. His name was not released.

Co-workers dug frantically but couldn't reach the victim.

Emergency crews are now working to recover his body.

Hamilton County's Urban Search And Rescue team is assisting.

The team will be working for several hours, digging, then shoring up the trench, and continuing that process until they reach the victim and get him out.

State investigators were also on the scene.
