Two workers were injured this morning in an electricity-related accident at a Hawaiian Electric Company substation on Kawaihae Street in Hawai'i Kai.

One man, in his mid-30s, and another, in his early 40s, were transported to Straub Hospital and Clinic in critical and stable condition, respectively, said Bryan Cheplic, spokesman for Honolulu Emergency Services.

The accident was reported shortly after 10 a.m., officials said.
