Vinh City: A billboard installer was electrocuted and fell to the ground.
A billboard installer let an iron bar collide with a power line and was electrocuted and fell to the ground in Vinh City at noon on April 9. He is currently in critical condition.
At around 11am on April 9, a group of workers were installing an advertising sign in front of a restaurant and wedding party on Mai Hac De Street, Vinh City, Nghe An.
At this time, a worker accidentally let the iron bar collide with the power line above.
Due to the close distance, the electric discharge caused the worker to be electrocuted and fall to the ground, unconscious on the spot.
Discovering the incident, a group of workers shouted and asked the electricity company to cut off the power to rescue the victim.

At the same time, doctors and nurses at a nearby hospital quickly arrived to provide first aid and transferred the victim to the emergency room in critical condition, with multiple injuries and severe burns.
The victim was identified as Mr. T. - about 50 years old, from Ha Tinh province.
“It was almost lunchtime, and the guys were downstairs preparing to clean up their tools when they heard a loud bang and Mr. T. fell from above,” an electrician working with Mr. T. recounted.
At the scene, the construction group was working on an advertising system and installing scaffolding over 6m high. The strong electric current damaged the electrical system and many machines in the restaurant and wedding party.
