Investigation Summary
AN EMPLOYEE WAS DUMPING A LOAD OF STONE AT A TEMPORARY LEVEE. THE LEVEE WAS BEING CONSTRUCTED TO STEM THE FLOW OF FLOOD WATERS. HE BACKED HIS DUMP TRUCK INTO POSITION AND RAISED THE SEMI-DUMP TRAILER TO DUMP THE LOAD. THE TRAILER CONTACTED A 12.5-KILOVOLT OVERHEAD POWER LINE, WHICH CAUSED THE TRUCK TIRES TO IGNITE. THE EMPLOYEE JUMPED FROM HIS TRUCK, BUT WAS ELECTROCUTED WHEN HE TOUCHED THE TRUCK WHILE HE WAS ON THE WET STONE ROADWAY.
