A rescue mission was underway on Long Island to try and reach a man reportedly buried after a trench collapse.
Emergency crews rushed to a residence in Head of the Harbor following a 911 call made around 2:30 p.m. on Monday, according to local authorities.
Departments from all over Suffolk County were assisting in the operation, which officials admitted was in a recovery phase.
The area is fairly remote, with only a handful of roads surrounding the location. A neighbor told News 4 they believed the homeowner was in the process of building a barn.
