ATLANTA — A construction worker was injured after being electrocuted at a job site in northwest Atlanta, according to Atlanta Fire Rescue.

The incident occurred at a three-story mixed-use development under construction on Lindsay Street, when the worker, who was on a 35-foot scaffold, accidentally came into contact with live power lines.

Atlanta Fire Rescue spokesperson Anaré Holmes said the man sustained third-degree burns, but was alert and breathing when crews arrived.

“What we do know and what we can share is that the man sustained third-degree burns, but he is alert and breathing,” Holmes said.

The area was evacuated as a precaution, and Georgia Power crews were called in to assist at the scene. No other injuries were reported.
