Two tree trimmers were shocked after they fell from a tree in Largo and hit a couple of power lines.

The two men, 50-year-old Lance Russel and 32-year-old Steven Hansen, with Happy Palms Tree Service were trimming trees on Tallowood Drive in the area of 8th Avenue SW and Indian Rocks Road.

Officials said Russel and Hansen were attempting to move a ladder when it struck power lines above them.

Russel was transported to a local hospital with non life-threatening injuries. Hansen was transported with life-threatening injuries.

Duke Energy is responding to the scene.
