A Boulder, Wyoming resident has died after being partially buried in a collapsed trench.

The Sublette County Sheriff’s Office reports that on Friday, June 9 at 10:00 a.m. first responders were dispatched to Navajo Path in Boulder for a report of a man trapped in a ditch. Once on scene, first responders located a backhoe on private property that had trenched a ditch approximately 25 feet long and approximately 8 to 10 feet deep. A large slab of earth had come free from one of the trench edges and collapsed on a person who was in the ditch at the time, covering most of his body up to his head. First Responders began removing dirt and earth utilizing the backhoe and shovels until they could reach vitals on the individual. There was no pulse and the man was not breathing. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
