Posted: July 07, 2015

LEESBURG, GA (WALB) - 

Workers were moving a large electric welding machine Tuesday morning in Leesburg, when the machine tipped over and trapped a man.

22 year old Cody Dooling was caught under the machine for several seconds before others could get it off him. During that time, he came in contact with about 240 volts of electricity.


Lee County EMS Chief  Bobby Watkins  said it happened about 11:00, and then Dooling was taken to Phoebe Putney, in critical condition.

The company where Dooling works makes custom outdoor equipment that attaches to vehicles for hunting.
