Construction worker falls into manhole on Texas A&M’s campus

A construction worker was injured Friday afternoon at Texas A&M’s campus while working on the expansion site of the Veterinary Medicine Teaching and Small Animal building.According to College Station Fire Department Battalion Chief Robert Mumford, firefighters received a distress call from the construction site around 1:40 p.m.
“One of the workers was placing some pipe in a manhole when the pipe bounced back and struck him,” Mumford said.
The man sustained several cuts to his head and face, though he remained conscious and breathing. After being extracted by firefighters from the manhole, he was taken by College Station paramedics to St. Joseph hospital in Bryan.
