LOS ANGELES—A Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) worker is in intensive care after suffering an injury while working to restore power Feb. 25 in the San Fernando Valley amid weather-related outages affecting thousands of people, the utility said Sunday.

“This accident and serious injury of our employee is a reminder that our line crews and other field personnel are truly unsung heroes who work in hazardous conditions risking their lives to keep the power flowing across our city,” LADWP General Manager Martin Adams said.
