A resident of Mars died when he was electrocuted while riding his bicycle on the North Park trail.
63-year-old Bob Anderson was biking on the trail Tuesday evening when he came into contact with a downed live power line on a trail at the northern Allegheny County park.
Emergency responders were first notified of the downed wires around 8:40 a.m.—but Duquesne Light was not able to repair the wires during the day.
It’s not known when Anderson came into contact with the wires; a jogger on the trail saw his body around 8 p.m. and called police.
Anderson was a physical education teacher at Central Catholic in Pittsburgh for nearly 20 years.
