Man Hurt, Power Out In Natick Electrical Accident
NATICK (WBZ) ― An NStar employee was seriously hurt Tuesday during an electrical accident in Natick.

The 41-year-old man suffered second and third degree electrical burn injuries to his neck, ear and left shoulder area.

The unidentified NStar employee was working in the rear of the Cloverleaf Apartment Complex at the time of the accident. Officials say crews were in the process of "tying in the main power source" to the apartment at the time.

Witnesses say the victim was working in a bucket truck and then there was a flash.

Other employees quickly applied medication from a burn unit and called 911. The man was able to walk to the ambulance once it arrived.

So far there is no word on his name or condition.

The accident knocked out power to the area for about 30 minutes.

At least it's probably just going to be a scar this time. Hopefully there's no hearing damage too.
