Just after 1:00, Wednesday afternoon rescue crews from multiple New Castle County fire companies responded to the 100 block of Maple Street in Wilmington for reports of a collapsed home with a person trapped.

Arriving crews confirmed that a male worker was trapped under the home. The trailer was being delivered to the Murray Manor Trailer Park when equipment reportedly slide, trapping the worker.

Crews worked for about 20 minutes to free the man who was trapped in a void under the home. Once crews made access to the man he was transported to Christiana Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
