LG&E says a contract line technician died while working electric service lines for the company Saturday afternoon.
James Banner with Pike Electric said 29 year-old Jameson Hall of Salyersville, Kentucky, who was employed by their company, was fatally injured while crews were doing restoration work at Preston Highway and Loretta Street.
Jefferson County Deputy Coroner Scott Russ says the manner of death is accidental and the cause is “consistent with a high voltage electrocution.”
Natasha Collins with LG&E said crews were working to repair damage in the Edgewood neighborhood following a line of storms that moved through the Louisville area earlier in the day.
