Investigation Summary
A ground worker on a power line crew was retrieving a piece of copper wire from the back of a digger-derrick truck. (He had earlier warned a coworker to stay clear of the truck.) The hydraulic hose on the boom on the digger-derrick contacted an 8000-volt overhead power line, and the ground worker received an electric shock. Coworkers administered cardiopulmonary resuscitation until emergency medical services arrived. Initial tests indicated that the injured employee had some brain activity, and no liver or kidney damage. Further testing later that day indicated that the employee had no brain activity, and he was pronounced dead.
