A man is taken to an ambulance by rescue workers after he fell into a well in northwestern Hall County.
A man was flown to an Atlanta hospital Tuesday afternoon after he fell 40 feet down a well in northwestern Hall County. The man, in his 20s, was working to repair water lines above the well, which was 50 feet deep and located inside a storage building at a home in the 3700 block of Leach Road, according to Hall County Fire Marshal Capt. Scott Cagle. The call came in at 1:13 p.m., Cagle said, and the man was trapped for about an hour and a half in the space, which was 2 to 3 feet wide, before rescuers were finally able to pull him out.
