On Tuesday September 13th at approximately 6 pm the Wakulla County Sheriff’s Office and Wakulla County Fire Rescue responded to the area of New Light Church Road and Springhill Road in regards to a subject being electrocuted. Tad Alan Shappard came in contact with a high voltage line while being lifted in a bucket truck cutting limbs from lines. His partner upon hearing the incident moved the truck to safety and lowered the bucket, started CPR when he found Shappard unresponsive. Fire Rescue provided medical treatment until the victim could be air lifted from the scene and taken to a local hospital. He is listed in critical condition.
