A 14-year-old girl was electrocuted in a Baltimore city park after she leaned on a fence to stretch before a baseball game, fire officials said.

Firefighters found a power line was sagging and had touched the fence that the girl leaned on, said Kevin Cartwright, a spokesman for the Baltimore Fire Department.

At about 8 p.m., teammates saw the girl put her foot on the fence in Druid Hill Park and then fall to the ground, Cartwright said.
