A foreign worker died and another Jordanian was hurt on Saturday in the collapse of a drainage trench in Al Husn near Irbid. Irbid Governor Radwan Atoum told Petra that the two workers were trapped in the two-meter deep trench, when it caved in burying them under the soil. Civil defense crews rushed to the sewer worksite, pulled the men out and rished the expatriate worker to the Prince Rashid Military Hospital, where he was proclaimed dead on arrival. The other worker was admitted to the Princess Basma Educational Hospital, where he was listed in a moderate condition.
