A 45-year-old man received an electric shock while working installing fiber optics on a pole of the Federal Electricity Commission (CFE) in Tecámac.

The accident occurred on Wednesday afternoon, on the side of the Mexico-Pachuca federal highway, in the Haciendas del Bosque neighborhood.

The emergency services moved to kilometer 40 of the road, where the 45-year-old technician was left hanging from the pole.

“He states that when he was carrying out work on a CFE pole , in the installation of the fiber optics, he accidentally touched the high voltage line, receiving an electric shock,” said a police source.

The worker suffered burns to his head, shoulders and right hand, so the emergency units took him to the Hospital de Las Américas, in Ecatepec
