A power line worker
was killed Saturday morning in south Houston when a routine electrical work
went awry.
A coworker also
was also injured in the incident, which happened just before 11 a.m. in the
7400 block of Santa Fe Drive, just north of Hobby Airport. There no immediate
word on that person’s condition.
Stacey Cox with
CenterPoint Energy says that the pair were CenterPoint contract workers
employed through a company called MP Technologies, which has an office in
Cypress.
Cox said that the
workers were actually doing electrical work for CenterPoint at the time of the
accident, and not trimming trees as authorities had previously reported.
