An eastern Kentucky man, working on the roof of a home, is nearly electrocuted after falling on a power line.

It happened in Leslie County near Stinnett Elementary School.

Officials say the man was working on the roof of the home when he came in to contact with the power line, causing him to fall about twenty-five feet.

Officials are not releasing the man's name, but tell Mountain News he was airlifted to a Tennessee hospital.

His condition is not known.
