A Vermont Electric Cooperative (VEC) line worker sustained a fatal injury on Wednesday afternoon while working on an electric utility line on the Sawmill Road in Essex, Vermont. Bruce Lamb (56), a VEC line worker with more than thirty years of experience, died at the scene of the incident where he was conducting routine maintenance work with another VEC line worker.
VEC CEO David Hallquist reported to the scene immediately upon hearing of the incident and an investigation is underway. ‘It is critically important for us to determine the factors which led to this tragic outcome. At this point it is too early to draw final conclusions,’ said Hallquist. Further information will be reported as details become available.
‘The Vermont Electric Cooperative family grieves today for the loss of a beloved co-worker,’ continued Hallquist. ‘Our thoughts are with the family and friends of Bruce Lamb.’
