Abstract: On April 24, 2002, Employee #1, a lineman, was in an elevated aerial bucket mounted on a truck bed, installing coaxial cable line on a power pole. The rear wheels of the truck were sitting in a shallow ditch. When he completed installing a segment of the new cable, he instructed the operator of the truck to move forward. The rear wheels of the truck pulled forward out of the ditch and up onto the adjacent higher pavement of the road. This raised the elevated bucket into close proximity of the overhead, 14,400-volt power line. The back of Employee #1's neck contacted the energized line, electrocuting him.
