PALM COAST, Fla. (AP) - Authorities say two Florida construction workers were electrocuted when the equipment they were operating struck a power line.
News outlets report that 37-year-old Richard Hockaday and 39-year-old Gerald Anderson died Monday morning while working at a residential construction site in Palm Coast.
The Flagler County Sheriff’s Office says a concrete pump truck boom touched a high-voltage line, sending about 13,000 volts of electricity through the men.
Hockaday and Anderson worked for Nomad Concrete Pumping, a subcontractor hired for the construction project.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration is investigating the incident.
