Appalachian Power Worker Injured
- {West Virginia}...An Appalachian Power worker received minor injuries while falling nearly 20 feet Saturday morning. Crews were working to lift a tree on Spring Street in South Charleston, rigging lines from a larger tree to bring down a smaller one. Officials say the weight from the first tree brought down the second, striking one of the booms on a power truck, throwing the APCO worker from the bucket, and ripping an electric meter, junction box and pole away from one home.
