Worker Rescued After Electric Shock on Srinakarin Road

On August 13, 2026, emergency responders from the Ruamkatanyu Foundation conducted a high-altitude rescue operation on Srinakarin Road. A 36-year-old worker became trapped on a scaffold approximately 15 meters above the ground after receiving an electric shock while installing a sign.

According to reports from Thai Post, the worker’s colleagues stated that he did not fall from the structure following the incident. It is suspected that a piece of metal being passed to the worker may have come into contact with a nearby high-voltage transformer. Rescue teams were mobilized to safely retrieve the individual from the elevated position.

For residents and travelers in the area, this incident highlights the potential hazards associated with ongoing infrastructure and signage work near high-voltage power lines. While the immediate rescue was successful, the exact condition of the worker and the specific circumstances leading to the contact with the transformer remain subject to further investigation by local authorities. Travelers should remain aware of their surroundings when passing through areas where construction or maintenance work is being performed, as such activities can occasionally impact traffic flow or pose localized safety risks.
