2 Workers Critically Hurt By Jolt From Power Line By VALERIE KALFRIN, Tampa Tribune
The men, subcontractors with Artistic Gutters and Siding of Tampa, were using a metal ladder placed between two other metal ladders as a scaffold. Each green stucco building has about 12 three- story town homes that are valued at about $300,000 each, officials said.
Shortly after noon, the end of one gutter the two workers were installing touched a 7,620-volt power line parallel to the building, shocking both, Tampa police spokesman Joe Durkin said.
The power line was about eight feet from the building, TECO officials said.
Paxton fell three stories to the ground; Trzepkowski fell forward through an open window into one of the town homes, Durkin said.------------------------------------------- posted 7:00 AM :: reference link ::
