If he's still there, get a shovel and lift the boards off of him. (Make sure Minni is inside first!) If he's injured, get some heavy leather gardening gloves and a thick jacket on, and try to pick him up. If you have a dog kennel, put him in it and drive him to Animal Control or your local wildlife rehab center. Possums LOVE dog food, so give him some kibble and some water.
If you flip him on his back, chances are he'll stiffen up and play dead. It's really creepy, because his muscles will do this thing where he really will FEEL like a dead animal! It's kinda cool, too. You can totally handle him when he's like that, he almost goes into a trance.
