1 dead, 1 critically injured in electrical accident

SEATTLE (AP) — Police say one man is dead and another was transported to Harborview Medical Center for life-threatening injuries following an electrocution accident in Seattle’s Central District neighborhood.

KOMO-TV reports police responded with Seattle fire crews to 2nd Avenue on Saturday just before 3 p.m. for an accident that occurred at a church where a crew appeared to be working on the side of the building.

Police say the two men were moving an aluminum ladder when a large gust of wind pushed it into an electrical wire electrocuting them both.

A 52-year-old male died and a 27-year-old male was transported to Harborview Medical Center where he is in critical condition.
