Electric Shock - Contact with Overhead Line thru Boom

Employees were using a boom truck to deliver wallboard to a construction site. The boom contacted a 34.5-kilovolt overhead power line, and one of the phase conductors separated. One end of the conductor landed on the truck, and the other end landed on the ground. The delivery helper, who was standing on the ground next to the truck and may have been touching it, was electrocuted.
