Man freed from depths of tanker trailer filled with feed after slipping and falling inside

A man was pulled to safety after falling into a tanker trailer filled with feed at a facility in Ohio on Thursday morning. 

The incident occurred on January 2nd at a grain facility on Middle Street in Homeworth, Knox Township, Ohio. 

According to WFMJ, a subcontractor was working around the trailer when he slipped and fell inside where he became stuck. The Homeworth Fire Department and the Alliance Fire Department worked together to wrap a harness around the worker and lift him out of the feed hauler using a fire department ladder truck. 

The rescue took about an hour to complete. The man was then transported to a hospital with non life threatening injuries. 

Officials say the worker slipped during a standard procedure involving the feed hauler. No further information has been released.
