Quote : | "Trespassers burned after touching high-voltage equipment
Raleigh, N.C. — Two people were badly burned after they touched equipment at a transformer substation off Tryon Road and were shocked by 23,000 volts of electricity, according to Wake County sheriff’s officials.
Investigators are searching for the third person. The people’s names were not released, but authorities say they are all in their mid-20s. One person was rushed to UNC Hospitals.
While the station was up and running Monday morning, Progress Energy officials said the incident did tens of thousands of dollars in damage and left about 12,000 homes temporarily without power.
Crew members said they have no idea why the trio would have wanted to get inside the area, because there is nothing to steal." | http://www.wral.com/news/local/story/7734500/
