Lubbock Fire Rescue responding to reported cave collapse at Lake Alan Henry - fox34.com

Garza County first responders are on scene at Lake Alan Henry, in contact with a person trapped under a collapsed cave as of 8:39 p.m.
Lubbock Fire Rescue says the individual is alert and talking with Garza County crews working the scene. That's a good sign in a situation that could easily go the other way. LFR's Heavy Rescue and Dive Team is headed to the lake to assist, and AeroCare has been called in for possible air transport.
Lake Alan Henry sits about 60 miles southeast of Lubbock, a spot plenty of local families and outdoor folks know well for camping, fishing and hiking around its rougher terrain. Cave and rock formations near the lake draw people looking to get away from the flat South Plains. This incident shows how quickly that terrain can turn dangerous.
For now, the response is about getting the trapped person out safely. Multiple agencies working together, plus an air ambulance on standby, shows how seriously crews are treating the rescue.
No word yet on how the person got trapped or how long the rescue effort will take.
