"He was stuck there for about an hour."
A construction worker was rescued in Dorchester Tuesday after the excavator he was operating accidentally snapped a utility pole, draping live wires onto the cabin of the vehicle and trapping him temporarily, according to the Boston Fire Department.
Firefighters responded to the lot on Ericsson Street where the man was working just before 11:30 a.m., according to Brian Alkins, a spokesman for the fire department.
“He snapped a utility pole, bringing the wires down on top of him and he was stuck there for about an hour,” said Alkins.
