GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. -

Construction workers in Grand Junction were in for quite the scare Wednesday when one of them fell 15 feet into a sewer line.

It happened around 10:30 am at a construction site just off of Panorama Drive in the Redlands.

We are told the worker was standing outside of the hole before it caved in. He was rescued before paramedics arrived and was not t injured.

Sewer line replacement work in the neighborhood was not delayed.
