Berwyn Police Blotter
Partygoer rescued from catchbasin after fall
February 12, 2008, 5:02 AM
Police arrived in the 6300 block of 26th in response to a call about a man trapped in a sewer behind a house. There he was, stuck in a 2-and-a-half-foot wide, 5-foot deep sewer. Via a translator, 39-year-old Andres Torres-Montoya said he had been at a friend’s party, then went home and tried to enter the back door when he fell down the sewer. He was down there three hours before neighbors heard him yelling. He said he did not recall whether the cover was on or off the sewer at the time of the fall. Police spoke with the party-giver, a man from 25th and Harvey; he told officers Torres-Montoya left the party between 10:30 and 11 PM.
