LEESBURG — A Lee County man was electrocuted as a result of an accident involving a welding machine Tuesday morning.

WALB is reporting that workers were moving a larger electric welding machine when the machine tipped over and trapped Cody Dooling, 22 of Leesburg.  Dooling was caught under the machine for several seconds before others could get it off him. During that time, he came in contact with about 240 volts of electricity.

Lee County EMS Chief Bobby Watkins told WALB the incident occurred about 11:00.  Dooling was taken to Phoebe Putney and his status was last reported as critical.

The company where Dooling works makes custom outdoor equipment that attaches to vehicles for hunting.
