Published: May 23. 2012 4:00AM PST

A Redmond teen remained in critical condition at a Portland hospital Tuesday night, two days after being shocked by a power line near Culver.

Kyle Reed, 18, lifted a metal irrigation pipe and hit an overhead power line while varmint hunting Sunday with friends off the Culver Highway near Ford Lane, Sgt. Jason Erickson of the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office said Monday.

Reed is a senior at Redmond High School.

Initially airlifted to St. Charles Bend, Reed was later transferred to Legacy Emanuel Medical Center in Portland.
