The men were involved in a fatal traffic accident on Interstate 4 earlier today.“Our hearts go out to their families and coworkers,” said Ken Ksionek, OUC general manager and CEO. “These men made great personal sacrifices to come here and help us rebuild our city in the aftermath of Hurricane Charley.” “Our employees are saddened by the loss of these two visiting linemen and have already asked for ways to show their condolences and comfort their family members. We will be working on that in the coming days,” Ksionek adds. “The citizens of Orlando will be forever grateful to these men who came to our assistance in our time of need. My condolences go out to their families and loved ones,” said Mayor Buddy Dyer upon learning of the accident. The men were part of a 52-person contingent from PAR Electric and were headed home after one week in Orlando.
