TULSA, Okla. (KTUL) - Tulsa police said a PSO worker was electrocuted in north Tulsa Monday morning.

Not many details were released but the medical examiner was called to the scene around 11 a.m. after the worker was pronounced dead.

Stan May with PSO said the man was believed to be a contractor for PSO. According to May, it was an accident.

Crews are working to replace power lines in that area.

It is not clear how the man was electrocuted. Most likely he was working too close to live electric wire and his bucket came in contact with them.

We will update the story when more details are available.
