SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — Authorities say a man was taken to a hospital after suffering an electric shock while taking apart carnival equipment at the W.H. Lyon Fairgrounds in Sioux Falls.

The Minnehaha County Sheriff’s Office says the 50-year-old Houston man was shocked around 8 p.m. Sunday after the close of the Sioux Empire Fair. Sgt. Joe Bosman says the man was not initially alert but regained consciousness before being taken to a hospital with injuries that were not life-threatening.

According to Bosman, fair attendees were gone by the time the incident occurred. The fair closed its run Sunday.
