West Auckland scaffolder in stable condition after high-voltage electric shock

Mildred Armah Reporter from Western Leader

A young father-of-three who suffered severe burns and had both his arms amputated after experiencing an electric shock on a scaffolding worksite, is now awake and responsive.

Jahden Nelson, 28, was holding a steel pole when it touched low-hanging overhead power lines, causing severe electric shock as he took the entire voltage of that power line, his mother Toni Paikea​​ said.

Nelson suffered a heart attack on site after the incident in West Auckland on April 19 and experienced severe burn injuries. Both arms have since been amputated following hospitalisation.
