One construction worker is dead and four others are seriously hurt after being electrocuted while working in Nuevo Laredo.
The incident happened Wednesday morning as the five men were working on an overpass.
According to authorities the group of workers were in charge of driving a crane to put up a steel column. The five workers were supposed to let the driver know about the electrical cables, but somehow they got distracted and that's when they all got electrocuted.
The man that died received all of the electric charge.
The others are in the hospital in critical condition.
