A man fleeing police Thursday night ended up needing rescuing after authorities say he jumped a wall and fell down a hole at a construction site. Police officials said officers were chasing the 27-year-old man on suspicion of driving a stolen vehicle when he abandoned the vehicle in Lincoln Heights. From there, the man ran onto a construction site near Sichel Street and Alhambra Avenue, where he jumped a wall and fell down a 30-foot hole, becoming trapped, KABC reported.

Light winds contributed to a brush fire in Highland Park, burning an acre in Ernest E. Debs Regional Park. One firefighter was injured due to heat exhaustion.

As many as 15 workers may be trapped underground following reports of an industrial tunnel collapse in Wilmington around 8 p.m. Wednesday, authorities said.
