Firefighters dug through the dumpster truck for almost two hours before discovering the man. He was then lifted out on a stretcher around 7:40 a.m. and taken to Temple University with series injuries to his hip, leg and lower abdominal area.

In early July, a Wichita, Kansas man was nearly crushed to death after also falling asleep in a dumpster. A garbage truck operator stepping out of his truck heard screaming and immediately stopped the compacting cycle of the truck. Unfortunately, some damage had already been done; the man suffered chest injuries and broken bones. Similarly, firefighters came to the rescue and removed him with the help of a ladder, KAKE.com reported.
