  1. 1a: Good, except don't start with his employer. Put that in paragraph 2.
    1b: Good, but say where/how the accident happened ("while replacing pipes on the roof of the Springfield Power plant").

    2a: Start with the guy who was hurt - that's what makes this news. Don't call him a civilian -- makes it sound like you're on a military base.
    2b: Good
