HUSTISFORD (WKOW) -- A 3-foot by 20-foot piece of concrete fell on two barges Thursday afternoon in Hustisford as construction crews were working on a dam.

The Dodge County Sheriff's Department says a person was trapped under the concrete but was been rescued. Authorities said the worker was injured, but there's no word on their current condition.

Fire and police crews requested a crane for assistance, but the worker was rescued before the apparatus could arrive.

Dodge County Emergency Management says there is no significant danger of the dam breaching.
