SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. — A downed power line electrocuted a man outside his Southern California home Friday, then killed his wife and 21-year-old son as the two each attempted rescue in the family’s backyard, authorities said.
San Bernardino firefighters arrived to find three bodies in contact with an arcing 12,000-volt electrical line in the backyard, but it was too dangerous to free them, said fire spokesman Jason Serrano. A utility company finally cut the power and coroner’s officials were called.
