A worker in Almuñécar died from an electrical discharge yesterday in Torrecuevas in Almuñécar.
The fatal accident occurred around 16.20h on a worksite behind the Tanatorio Zumaquero. The victim was a 65-year-old crane operator.
The emergency service immediately despatched an ambulance, as well as the Policía Local and Guardia Civil. A medicalised helicopter from the Junta was also sent but neither the paramedics onboard or those with the ambulance could do anything for the victim.
Consequently, the Inspección de Trabajo y al Centro de Prevención de Riesgos Laborales (work-safety inspectors) have been informed.
