A hydro worker was killed Wednesday in southwestern Ontario while working on a power line damaged by superstorm Sandy.
The worker, whose name has not been released, was electrocuted while tending to a downed power line in Sarnia, said the Ontario Labour Ministry, which is investigating the man's death.
It's the second fatality attributable to Sandy in Ontario. A Toronto woman died Monday night when she was hit by a sign blown down as the storm hit.
Meanwhile, Ontario Provincial Police credited passing motorists with saving a woman and her brother after her vehicle overturned in a water-filled ditch following a collision.
Nottawasaga OPP say a small SUV collided with a car in an intersection on a county road Tuesday afternoon, sending the car off the roadway, where it flipped onto its roof in the ditch.
The ditch was filled with deep water resulting from torrential rainfall from superstorm Sandy, and police say the woman and her brother were partially submerged.
A passing motorist and his brother broke the driver's side window of the car, rescuing the 20-year old woman and her 22-year old brother.
