On company premises in Nuremberg: man dies from electric shock
According to information from the spokesman, the excavator arm got into an overhead line and was torn off.
How exactly this came about is still unclear.
The overhead line was therefore under high voltage and gave the workers a massive electric shock.
Emergency services could only approach the scene of the accident after switching off the electricity and only find the death of a 26-year-old man.
The other two injured were taken to hospital.
