Couples Electrocuted Trying To Help Crash Victim

	Couples Electrocuted Trying To Help Crash Victim Two women have been electrocuted after trying to rescue a man injured in a car crash in Los Angeles. The accident happened after the vehicle smashed into a fire hydrant in a residential area in the San Fernando Valley, sending water gushing two storeys into the air. The vehicle also knocked down a lamp-post, exposing high-voltage power cables which electrified the water pooling around it. A woman living nearby who heard the crash rushed out of her home and ran over to help. She was unaware the water had been made 'live' by the power cable and was electrocuted when she stepped into it. Moments later Irma Zamora and her husband were driving past and also stopped to help. Mrs Zamora ran towards the vehicle but was also instantly electrocuted.
