The Corpus Christi Fire Department responded to a trench collapse Monday near Buccaneer Stadium that killed at least one person.
The fire department responded to an emergency call around noon at the location near Leopard Street and Buddy Lawrence Drive. When fire crews got on scene, they quickly realized that instead of a rescue, they were going to be involved in a body recovery, Corpus Christi fire Chief Robert Rocha said.
At 2 p.m., fire department rescue experts, trench rescue experts, and hazmat experts were trying to secure the site so firefighters could enter to retrieve the body.
The victim has not yet been identified. Rocha said there was construction down the street and those workers were involved in the collapse.

A group of health care workers hurried out of a Boston hospital on a recent weekday morning, clutching small red coolers filled with COVID-19 vaccines.
Their challenge: Beat traffic, a looming snowstorm and the clock. They had to get shots in the arms of their homebound patients before the vaccines expired in a few hours.
“That clock is in the back of my mind the whole time,” said Dr. Won Lee, a home care specialist at Boston Medical Center.
Millions of U.S. residents will need COVID-19 vaccines brought to them because they rarely or never leave home. Doctors and nurses who specialize in home care are leading this push and starting to get help from state and local governments around the country.
