A 40-year-old man who fell asleep ended up stuck in a 12-inch drainage pipe under a busy overpass in Salt Lake City. He’d been stuck in the pipe for about four hours when rescuers pulled him out.
It’s unclear whether he fell asleep inside the pipe or if he slid down into the pipe while sleeping, but when he woke up, we realized he was stuck and started yelling for help. Passerby heard the screams and called first responders.
The man had no injuries and was fine other than minor dehydration. Rescuers say they rarely pull people from confined spaces
