A DC Metro worker was rescued after falling 20 feet into a 35-foot hole at around 1:30 a.m. Thursday.
Roads were shut down near the 7200 block of Wisconsin Avenue in Bethesda as emergency crews used a rope to pull the injured man out.
Traffic has since reopened. Fire officials are expected to give an update Thursday.
