Bavaria: Two construction workers seriously injured by electric shock

Rosenheim (dpa / lby) - Two people were seriously injured by an electric shock on a construction site in Rosenheim. As a police spokesman announced on Tuesday, the arm of a mobile crane came into contact with a high-voltage line on Monday. Several metal tubes hung from the boom. The 28-year-old and the 39-year-old stood on the ground and guided the pipes with their hands. They were thrown away by the transmitted current and suffered burns.

The two seriously injured were taken to hospitals - the 28-year-old by helicopter. The nearby railway line (Rosenheim - Grafing) was closed for some time for safety reasons.
