Last night we told you about a man who got electrocuted in Independence village. He is Hugo Polanco - who was trimming a tree in front of Kafun Restaurant on Fadden Avenue. He was on the tree trimming the edge, when his machete struck a high tension wire. He died on the spot and fell off the tree to the ground.
It happened on the town's main street at 5:50 in the evening. Villagers tell us that he was trimming the tree to get more illumination from the streetlight. They complain that due to broken lamps, illumination in the area is poor. Notably, a murder occurred not too far away on Big Creek Road over the weekend. Police haven't been able to come up with witnesses because the area where it happened was too dark.
