A TV production crewmember working on the set of Fox’s “The X-Files” was electrocuted Monday and six others were injured, according to The Associated Press. An electrical line sent a 4,800-volt charge through a scaffold the crew was using. “It charged the entire scaffolding,” Fire Department spokesman Jim Wells told AP.
It wasn’t clear how the power line came into contact with the scaffolding. One person on the scaffolding died, another sustained serious injuries and the other victims suffered minor injuries, Wells said.
According to a production notice at the scene, the crew was filming an episode involving dialogue, a foot chase and rain effects.
