Worker in Critical Condition After Being Trapped in Ditch in Lake Forebay

A large number of emergency vehicles gathered at the lake Wednesday afternoon after a worker at the dam project became stuck in a trench. Mark Brady of the Prince George’s County Fire Department public information office said that fire fighters, medics and technical crew were cooperating to get the man out. After five hours the man was freed and was on his way to the Prince George’s Trauma Center by helicopter in critical but stable condition.
