(KLS News) Surgeons at University Hospital had to amputate the arm of a man severely injured in an electrical accident last month.

The family of Fatu Matagi, who was shocked while working on a power pole, announced Matagi has had seven surgeries, on top of the amputation, but is getting better.

A fund is set up in Matagi's name at Wells Fargo Bank.

His co-worker, 26-year-old Stephen Vlamakis, died on the scene.
