Investigation Summary
Two employees were moving wire mesh mats to another location at a worksite. They were handling the mats by suspending them from the forks of a machine. The boom on the machine was at or near full extension to keep the mats from dragging on the ground. One of the two employees was driving the machine, and the other (the brother of the first employee) was riding on the side of the machine as it passed under an overhead power line. The top part of the backrest contacted the power line. The rider jumped off. The driver tried to do the same, but apparently touched the ground and the machine at the same time. He received an electric shock and sustained severe electrical burns. He was pronounced dead of his injuries at the hospital. His coworker sustained burns trying to help the injured driver, but refused treatment.
