Roy Ping day man at the Farmersburg sub station of the Terre Haute Sullivan interurban line was severely injured Monday afternoon by a 22 000 volt live wire.

Ping later regained consciousness and was said likely to recover. The incident notes that very high voltage can pass through the body without instant death, unlike lower voltages used in electrocuting criminals.
