PM Browne Expresses Sadness Over Death of Chinese National at Booby Alley Project
By Cory Wayland
Prime Minister Gaston Browne has extended condolences to the family of the late Chinese national who was electrocuted on the Booby Alley Project in Pointe earlier today.
“I am very saddened to hear about this unfortunate incident in which one of the workers lost his life. I pray for the speedy and full recovery of the other who survived the electrocution and extend sincerest condolences to the bereaved family,” Browne tells Antigua.news
The incident took place shortly after 9 am while the workers were erecting a scaffold that inadvertently made contact with overhead power lines.
Emergency Medical Services quickly responded to the scene and transported the two men to Sir Lester Bird Medical Centre for treatment.
Sadly, one of the workers succumbed to his injuries approximately two hours after arriving at the hospital.
The other worker, who was also electrocuted, is currently receiving medical care and is reported to be in stable condition.
