Two workers suffered critical injuries after they were shocked and burned in an Irvine construction accident, according to a news report.
The Orange County Fire Authority was called to the scene of construction work on an underground vault at Harvard Avenue and Michelson Drive. Two men in their 20s were working in the vault when they came into contact with high voltage wires. Both men suffered severe electrical shock and burns to their faces and hands, and were taken to the burn unit at Western Medical Center in Santa Ana in critical condition.
While not identified in the news story, the two men were identified in accompanying social media comments as Christopher LaMere and his co-worker, Alex.
