A 20-year-old worker was electrocuted to death in Gaiano di Collecchio, in the province of Parma.

He was working near a house when he probably severed some cables while digging the earth with a bucket, hitting them inadvertently.

Once the alarm was raised, the 118 rescuers arrived on the scene, but there was nothing that could be done for the young man.

The Carabinieri have started investigations, together with the Occupational Medicine.

The death of the twenty-year-old is the third, since the beginning of the year, recorded at work in the Parma area. Last February, a 67-year-old worker lost his life when he was hit by a truck in the yard of a logistics company in Parma, while last March in Fidenza, a 51-year-old worker was hit by the load of a crane on a construction site for the seismic adaptation of the Collodi school.

In 2023 in Parma there were twelve deaths at work and over 8,000 total accident reports.
