The Associated Press reports that Dallas emergency personnel had to use ladders and ropes to help a homeless man caught in the back of a garbage truck.
Investigators believe that the man was sleeping in a Dumpster when a trash hauling vehicle came by to empty it. The injured homeless man was taken to a Dallas-area hospital, though officials did not release further details on his condition.
Temperatures in Dallas slipped into the 40s on Monday, a reason investigators say the man many have sought refuge in the Dumpster.
