Trapped worker found alive after racking collapse!
A trapped worker was found alive this afternoon after he was buried under tons of collapsed racking at a warehouse near Market Drayton.
The man was said to be trapped in his forklift but not seriously hurt.
Rescuers are said to have created a walkway with pallets to make it easier to get the man out.
The worker then walked out of the collapsed warehouse to a waiting crowd following the mammoth 8 hour rescue.
Fire crews and paramedics were called to Edwards Transport in Hinstock, near Market Drayton, Shropshire, at 9.41am (Friday, May 6) after shelves loaded with goods toppled over.
A Shropshire Fire & Rescue Service statement said: "One high bay warehouse, approximately 60m x 20m, suffered internal and external collapse, with one person unaccounted for.
"Search of the building is being carried out by fire service personnel using equipment including a snake eye camera. National Urban Search and Rescue teams including dogs are assisting with the search."
