Gravedigger buries himself

Nieuwleusen: A Dutch gravedigger had a lucky escape after he accidentally buried himself.

The 62-year-old man, from Nieuwleusen, was digging a grave in Zwolle cemetery when it happened, reports Gva.be.

A trailer containing the earth he had removed tipped over and fell into the grave, knocking over the man and covering him completely.

Luckily, a workmate was able to move the trailer and uncover the gravedigger's face to let him breathe.

He called the fire brigade who managed to free the man after an hour. He was unhurt apart from a bump on the head.
