Investigation Summary
A power line crew was replacing a broken utility pole. One of the employees on the crew was standing on the side of the digger derrick, holding onto the side of the truck with both hands. A second employee was reaching into the cab of the truck with his right knee touching the running board. The ground was wet from a rain and ice storm. As he was positioning the boom of the derrick, the operator brought the boom into contact with a 13.2-kilovolt overhead power line. The employee at the side of the truck was electrocuted. The employee reaching into the truck received an electric shock and burns on his knee and foot. He was hospitalized for his injuries.
