West Texas authorities say a contractor has died after being electrocuted while working on a light pole at a school.

Sundown Independent School District superintendent Scott Marshall said the man was injured Wednesday morning. He was taken from an unidentified school to an area hospital where he later died.

Marshall said no students saw the accident or were injured.

The contractor was working on lighting outside the building when he was injured. He has not been identified.
