Three Injured At Wolf Creek Dam
KENTUCKY...
Three men working on the Wolf Creek Dam rehabilitation project on Lake Cumberland suffered serious burns in an accident Wednesday afternoon. Officials say the three men were injured when a pressurized pipe came loose and sprayed them with hot slurry. Two men were flown to UK Hospital with what officials called "critical burns". EMS transported the third worker to Russell County Hospital. The resident engineer at the dam said all three men were treated and released. Officials say they don't know what caused the pipe to come lose. They continue to investigate.
