(Oxon Hill, Maryland-AP) -- A construction worker on the Wilson Bridge project is dead after a crane came into contact with live power lines. It happened around nine this morning on the Maryland side. Prince George's County Fire and EMS spokesman Chauncey Bowers says the boom of the crane came down, touching the wires on the way. A 44-year-old man was electrocuted. Efforts to revive the man were unsuccessful. A witness says the victim was running toward the crane, and tried to get on it just as the boom struck the power lines. He says the man was blown from the crane face down. The bridge crosses over the Potomac River, connecting Virginia and Maryland.
