Man electrocuted in Pittsburgh
A man was electrocuted after coming into contact with overhead power lines while working from a utility truck in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania earlier today.
Chester Sipes, 47, was working for DLS Tree Service and inadvertently boomed up into the 13,000 volts power line. He was taken to hospital where he was pronounced dead.
The incident occurred outside a school, with some of the children witnessing the event from their classroom windows. Counsellors were brought to the school to talk to the children.
