Investigation Summary
A truck driver had just dropped a load of sand and gravel at a jobsite. He pulled his truck tractor and dump trailer out to a side dirt road and elevated the dump trailer to clean it. The dump trailer contacted and cut the neutral conductor. Current from the 8000-volt phase conductor arced to the trailer. The employee either was in the truck and got out or was standing next to the vehicle when the contact occurred. Employees at job site heard the tires blow out and ran over to see what happened. They found the truck driver unconscious on the ground, administered cardio-pulmonary resuscitation, and called for emergency medical services. Despite these efforts, the truck driver died of electrocution.
