Officials said the workers suffered electrical burns and other injuries, and one patient was taken as a Priority 1 trauma case.
- On Monday, June 8, 2026, three workers were seriously injured in a "possible electrical explosion" inside an electrical shaft next to the Medical Center Metro Station in Bethesda, according to Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Service officials.
