UTAH COUNTY -- More than 30 rescuers are trying to reach a man stuck in the Nutty Putty Caves in Utah County.
The Utah County Sheriff's Office says the 26-year-old man was with a group of 11 people when he became lodged in a narrow part of a cave around 8:45 p.m. Tuesday. Friends called authorities around 9:30 p.m. saying the man was stuck and could move only a couple of inches.
A helicopter is on stand by and crews from Utah County and Orem City say it could be hours before they're able to free him.
The sheriff's office says the group had a permit to tour the caves.
People have become trapped in this area in the past, and crews have had to chip away at rock to free them.
