A construction worker fell into a 20-foot deep pit near Nail Technical Center shortly before 8 a.m. Wednesday.
The injured worker was transported to Brooke Army Medical Center after city EMS and the San Antonio Fire Department rescued him from the pit.
The injured man is employed by a Vaughn Construction subcontractor. Lt. Juan Velez Jr. of SAFD told The Ranger that after initial examination, he believes the man may have a broken leg and facial or head injuries.
At about 11 a.m., John Strybos, associate vice chancellor of facilities, confirmed the incident but didn't have any information on his current condition.
College public relations released a statement through PALS, student e-mail notifying students of the incident.
The statement said the area "poses absolutely no risk to students or employees of the college" because it is sealed off with fences.
Sgt. Ben Peña of the district department of public safety did not have any details on the case.
Vaughn Construction did not return calls.
