Abstract: An employee was driving a 1974 Ford truck with a Jessen boom (Model No. M-33) mounted on it, en route to an oil well lease site. He was travelling east on a dirt road. A 7600-volt overhead power line ran east to west along the south side of the road. The dirt road curved to the right and passed under the power line. The employee had noticed that the boom on his vehicle was slightly extended and was not cradled properly. He stopped his vehicle directly under the power line. He then raised the boom into the power line and was electrocuted.
