A man is rescued from inside a garbage truck in San Francisco after becoming trapped following the vehicle’s trash pickup, according to local fire officials. The San Francisco Fire Department says it receives a call just after 4 a.m. Wednesday reporting that a person is stuck inside the truck after it collects trash from a dumpster.
Multiple outlets report the rescue occurs in the early morning hours, with firefighters gaining access to remove the man. The Los Angeles Times describes the incident as involving a “dumpster diver” trapped inside the garbage truck for several hours, while The New York Times frames it more generally as a person stuck in the vehicle after it collects trash. Details about how the person got inside the truck are not fully specified in the accounts provided.
