GPL worker on the mend

Jun 11, 2008 News

The Guyana Power and Light Inc. (GPL) has reported that Juan Moore, who narrowly escaped death by electrocution atop a pole on Regent Street last week, is on his way to recovery.
Moore is in a stable condition, fully conscious, speaking and seems to be very well, the power company stated. Moore sustained a wound on his left foot and burns along his inner thighs as a result of the incident.
It is not sure when Moore will be back at work, but he is expected to return pending his discharge from St Joseph Mercy Hospital, where he was admitted following his near death experience on Friday last, a source within the power company said.
Moore had stepped onto a rotten crossbar, which broke and caused him to fall. He then slammed into the transformer, the impact triggering a loud explosion. People reportedly saw his body twitching as the electricity coursed through him.
Passersby who witnessed Moore’s fall and contact with the electric wire said that there are many rotten crossbars on the lamp posts that line Regent Street. The power company said that it is aware of these rotten crossbars, which it proposes to change in the immediate future.
