Emergency crews responded to a high-angle rescue incident Wednesday morning in the 4300 block of Dunham Road in Exeter Township.
Initial dispatch reports indicated a male worker was stuck in a lift approximately 30 feet in the air after reportedly coming into contact with an electrical wire while trimming trees. His condition was initially unknown.
The incident appeared to involve an employee of a local landscaping company. Utility crews cut power to the area and the lift was safely brought to the ground.
The Berks County Coroner’s Office was later requested to the scene and arrived a short time later. Police are investigating the incident.
