A West Berbice, Guyana Power and Light Company (GPL) employee is now hospitalized after falling from a utility pole, recently.
While authorities, and relatives of the injured man have been tight lipped on the incident, it has been confirmed that Alistair Johnson, 26, of Belladrum, West Coast Berbice, at the time of the incident was a member of a transmission and distribution crew that was out in the field doing some work at Number Two Village, West Coast Berbice, when the incident occurred.
Johnson, a husband and a father of one, is reported to have accidentally made contact with high voltage wire, and was thrown to the ground.
