November 4, 2020

Two men installing an antenna on a water tower in Delaware were killed Monday when a strong wind tipped over the lift that was holding them, authorities said.

State police said the men were installing an antenna on a water tower in Bethany Beach when a strong wind caused the lift holding them about 120 feet in the air to tip over. The lift became tangled in surrounding electrical wires as it fell to the ground.

A 22-year-old man and a 23-year-old man, both from Puerto Rico, were pronounced dead at the scene. Authorities withheld their names pending notification of family members.
