A worker in Wellesley, Massachusetts was seriously injured after receiving an electric shock while hanging Christmas lights on a tree. The contractor, a 22-year-old man, was using a 34-foot pole to hang the lights when it came in contact with an electrical line atop a utility pole, causing the shock. He collapsed and was found unconscious, not breathing, and in cardiac arrest. Police used a defibrillator to get his heart beating and he was taken to a hospital in critical condition. OSHA is investigating the incident. The worker, who is employed by NZ Power Wash in Framingham, is now recovering in the hospital. The Wellesley Police, Fire, and WMLP Departments have extended their thoughts and prayers to the victim and his family during this difficult time.
