Two private contractors were hospitalized this morning after suffering electric shock injuries while working outside a home in Ocean City, according to officials.
The incident happened shortly before 9 a.m. on Somerset Lane, when a worker was moving a metal ladder that came into contact with electric wires. The worker suffered an electric shock, and an additional worker was injured after touching the ladder while trying to help.
