(WRIC) — A Chesterfield family of three is grateful to be alive after falling into a hole beneath their porch. 8News spoke with one of the homeowners, Tamara Hodges, who said she, along with her husband, was taking her mother to a doctor's appointment when it happened. "My husband was locking the door, [we] got onto the porch, and the next thing I know, it just gave way," Hodges explained. "All three of us fell about four or five feet down to the ground concrete." Chesterfield Fire and EMS confirmed that just before 9:30 a.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 11, crews along with members of the department's Urban Search and Rescue Team along with Technical Rescue Team were called to the 11600 block of Smoketree Drive.

The rescue effort took a total of 10 minutes and all three people were treated for their injuries at the scene. Hodges added she and her family were in the hole for about 15 minutes waiting for first responders to arrive. "I couldn't really see much -- I tried to ask if everyone was okay," Hodges explained. "My mother told me she couldn't feel her leg, even though I can kind of look down and see that the slab was right next to her leg that was already injured. Then my husband, you know, she [Hodge's mother] said she could see that his leg was bleeding. He had some scrapes and bruises on one of his legs as well." Hodges added that she had a few sore spots. Neighbors living next door to the Hodges told 8News they were concerned as they were in the living room when the incident occurred. "I looked outside and not one fire truck, but three fire trucks and a number of different rescue squad cars showed up," said Jonathan Parker-Smith of Chesterfield County. "We [ended] up walking over there and just checking on him and saw his wife escorted out on a stretcher and just very scary." Parker-Smith also noticed how the Hodge's porch looked similar to his own. "When we look at our own ports and find out the details, it looks pretty similar. Obviously, we're very close in proximity to him," he said. "So, this is a very concerning event [but] I'm obviously very glad everybody's okay." Hodges told 8News that, while she and her family are happy to be alive, she will contact her owner along with insurance as this is the first time this has occurred in the eight years of her living in the home. "I want to find out some answers of why there's no absolute support if you've seen it. It's just hollow ground underneath some concrete slab, like, how can you support that like that?" Hodges said.
