Utility worker suffers electric shock, is hospitalized

Deputies began CPR and used a defibrillator while waiting for medics to arrive. He was then taken to Miami Valley Hospital, where his condition is unknown.

The man is a contract worker for the Dayton Power & Light Co. He was working on some underground lines at the time of the accident, Mary Ann Kabel, DP&L’s director of corporate communications, said.

DP&L is cooperating with investigators and hopes for the contract worker’s full recovery, she said.
