According to several workers on the scene, no one was in the trailer when it fell and no one was hurt.
Crews brought in several dump trucks worth of dirt to create a soft ramp that may be used later to pull the trailer out of the pit. A large section of concrete and brick, along with a green iron fence fell with the trailer into the pit.
