DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. — A worker was trapped and injured in a trench collapse at the site of the new Brookhaven city hall Thursday, police said.

He has since been rescued and was able to walk himself to the ambulance.

GDOT cameras showed numerous emergency vehicles including Brookhaven police, fire and an EMS at the corner of North Druid Hills Road and Peachtree Road.

According to city officials, the worker’s leg was trapped in the dirt. Police did not say how the accident happened or if there was additional damage to the property.

The worker has not been identified.

Part of North Druid Hills Road was shut down between Apple Valley and Peachtree Road.

The city broke ground on the project in October 2023.
