A man in Texas, USA, died last week while working at a Tesla factory in the Austin area. His family has sued the electric vehicle company and his employer.

The lawsuit states that employee Victor Joe Gomez Sr. was at the plant on August 1 to inspect electrical panels before they were turned on. But Gomez, who is an electrician, did not know that the panel was already on, and when he inspected it he "immediately received an electric shock" and fell unconscious.

The filing said the man was removed from the scene to Dell Seton Medical Center by Austin-Travis County EMS, where he was declared deceased.
