Man Electrocuted After Making Contact With Live Wire

DETROIT (WWJ) - DTE Energy officials are working with Detroit police after a 31-year-old man was electrocuted on the city's west side.

Police say the man was walking down Lenore, near Telegraph and 5 Mile when he came into contact with a wire.

DTE says the wire came down with a pole that broke because of the severe storms that rolled through.

It's unknown if the wire fell on him or if he walked into it.
