Lineman Dies In Chambers County

Chambers County officials say one man is dead and another critically injured after an industrial

accident near Mont Belvieu over the weekend. The accident was reported a few minutes after

midnight on Sunday morning. Two linemen were working on a high-voltage transmission line

from inside a metal lift basket attached to a crane when the basket came loose and fell more than

100-feet to the ground. One man was dead at the scene. The other was airlifted to Memorial

Herman Hospital in Houston in critical condition.
