Abstract: At approximately 8:30 a.m. on March 23, 1990, a crane operator was driving a Link Belt LS-118 crawler type lattice boom crane down a paved access road. The boom was at an approximately 50 degree to 65 degree angle when he turned his crane to the right to go up an approximately 14 degree incline. As the crane was proceeding up the incline, its tracks came off the pavement and its rear sank into the soft ground. The counterweight hit the pavement and the crane's boom flipped backward over the revolving superstructure, hitting a de-energized power line. It broke off the top of the pole and landed on the ground below the access road. No one was injured.
