1a) Good, but proofread: was not Was, condition not conditions, 15,000-volt power line.

1b) Stick with "Pipe fitter" -- it helps explain how he got in this situation. Describing him as a Gross Engineers employee doesn't. Proofread: it's accidentally, not accaccidently.

2a-b) Ask yourself what makes this story newsworthy -- for example, a simple car accident isn't news, but when someone is seriously injured in a car accident, it is. Focus on the fact that a local person was injured in a two-car accident.

7/10. Revise and repost.
