Duquesne Light Company said the line workers were doing work on a utility pole in McCandless Township near Pittsburgh when they were injured.
The company didn’t specify the cause of the injury but township officials told WPXI-TV that the two were shocked by a power line.
Witness Jim Vent told the station that he went outside after the power suddenly went off and saw a neighbor who is a nurse performing CPR on one of the victims. He said police arrived and used a defibrillator on one of the workers. Duquesne Light said both employees were taken to local hospitals “and we’re continuing to monitor their conditions.” The company said the safety of workers, contractors and the public “is always our top priority” and an investigation into the cause of the incident is underway.
