When the pole was set in place, one employee got into the derrick truck and Employee #1 walked to the rear of the truck to operate the outrigger controls. At this time the bucket truck rolled down the hill and pinned Employee #1 against the derrick truck. He was crushed and killed. Four citations were issued, three of them serious.
