Three Indiana sewer workers who became trapped in a manhole have died, officials said Tuesday.
The contract workers were working on a storm sewer project in Columbia City when they were found just after 8:50 a.m., trapped inside a manhole.
First responders from Fort Wayne were called to extricate the men, who were found 20 feet below, Columbia City Mayor Ryan Daniel said in a statement.
Five feet of water was found inside the manhole, he said. Responders pulled the men out and began life-saving procedures.
"Unfortunately, all three men were declared deceased at the scene," Daniel said.
