A 33-year-old man is recovering from a severe electric burn he sustained Tuesday afternoon while working on a wind turbine north of Dexter, the Mower County sheriff says.
Eric Allen Chlan, of Otsego, Minn., was listed in fair condition Wednesday at Saint Marys Hospital in Rochester, according to a Mayo Clinic spokeswoman.
Authorities responded about 2 p.m. to the work site near 680th Avenue and 300th Street in Dexter Township, where Chlan was injured, Sheriff Terese Amazi said.
Officials believe the turbine was electrically charged when Chlan was working on it, giving the worker an electrical burn on his left arm, Amazi said.
Dexter first-responders and the Grand Meadow ambulance responded and transported Chlan to Rochester.
