Man Electrocuted at Construction Site
A 30-year-old construction worker was electrocuted Tuesday night when he came in contact with a 480-volt power line while restoring the interior of an office building, authorities said.
The man, who has not been identified, was working with three other employees of Laguna Hills-based Tri-Star Restorations at a building in the 18600 block of Jamboree Road, near Dupont Drive, Irvine Police Sgt. Jim Lowder said.
All four workers were removing drywall from the building, which has been vacant for more than five years, when the victim came in contact with the power line.
