A CREW OF EMPLOYEES WAS INSTALLING METAL STREETLIGHTING POLES ALONG A HIGHWAY. THE CREW WAS USING A FORD UTILITY TRUCK (PRESUMABLY WITH A BOOM ATTACHED) TO SET THE POLES. THEY HAD SET 30 OF THE 32 POLES THAT WERE TO BE INSTALLED. THE NEXT POLE, WHICH WAS 34 FEET, 7 INCHES LONG WITH AN 18-FOOT, 7-INCH-LONG STREETLAMP ARM, WAS TO BE LOCATED BENEATH A 230-VOLT OVERHEAD POWER LINE. THE OVERHEAD LINE WAS 36 FEET, 4 INCHES ABOVE THE ROADWAY AND WAS 38 FEET, 3 INCHES FROM THE BASE FOR THE NEW STREETLIGHTING POLE. ONE OF THE EMPLOYEES, A HELPER, WAS GUIDING THE POLE ONTO ITS BASE WHEN THE POLE CONTACTED THE OVERHEAD LINE.
