A man who fell into a manhole in north Phoenix Monday morning has been rescued.
Phoenix firefighters used a system of ropes to retrieve the man from a 15-foot deep concrete hole at the Norterra construction site near 25th Avenue and Happy Valley Road, Phoenix Fire Captain Victor Rangel said.
The man was conscious throughout the rescue, Rangel said, and he has been transported to John C. Lincoln North Mountain Hospital with lower back and leg injures.
Rangel was unsure of how the man fell into the hole.
Great Failures of the Extremely Successful is an inspiring book about famous people we all recognize who have experienced fantastic failures or enormous trouble. It’s not a self-help book, it’s simply reports the stories we never hear about people who never gave up.
The bodies of six suspected illegal immigrants have been recovered since Monday in southern Arizona’s deserts, a toll officials said was not unusual when temperatures soar above 100 degrees.
The bodies of a man and a woman were recovered Thursday evening, a U.S. Border Patrol spokesman said, adding to four others found earlier in the week.
“One a day, unfortunately, this time of year is not high,” said Border Patrol Agent Sean King said.
