Two people were killed in Phoenix after they made contact with electrical wires, authorities said Wednesday morning.
Firefighters responded to reports of two people who were possibly electrocuted after making contact with in-ground electrical wires located near 23rd and Peoria avenues, the Phoenix Fire Department said in a press release.
Fire officials and APS worked together to shut down power to the area before firefighters approached the scene. Crews evaluated two people, whose names weren’t provided at the time, and declared them dead.
The Phoenix Police Department will conduct the investigation.
No other information was immediately available.
