Investigation Summary
A crew of three cable television workers was lashing a cable television cable to a utility pole. One employee was in an aerial lift; another employee was on the ground assisting; and the third employee was about 0.4 kilometers away, directing traffic. The ground worker noticed the employee in the aerial lift slumped over in the bucket, lying on the controls unconscious. The aerial lift bucket was moving in the direction of an overhead power line. The employees on the ground could not safely reach the emergency shutoff. The bucket went into the power line, electrocuting the employee inside.
