Darwin Telemaque, General Manager of the Antigua and Barbuda Port Authority, reported that the men, employed by a cleaning company, were moving a scaffold, which rolled and hit a high-tension APUA wire, causing the electrocution.

They sustained severe burns and injuries.

Medical officials are working to stabilize them. Numerous members of the Spanish community are at the hospital.
