Construction worker shocked, thrown 4.5 metres

Web Staff, cp24.com

A 38-year-old man was taken to hospital with burns to his hands and feet after he received an electric shock on the job early Monday afternoon.

York Regional Police Sgt. Laurie Perks says the man was operating a crane used to pour concrete when the piping hit a live wire. He was working at a site in Richmond Hill near Yonge Street and Carville Road.

The victim was thrown 4.5 metres, Perks says, landing in a pool of water -- which prevented emergency crews from getting to him right away.

He was conscious and breathing when paramedics took him to hospital. His current condition is not known.

Lets all pray he's ok

He is a friend of mine and I dont know his condition but have herd ok and not and since I have such crappy cell service in northern ontario I cant find out to much
