Investigation Summary
A company was removing trees, some of which were near an overhead power transmission line energized at 69,000 volts. The phase conductors were supported by wooden poles. One tree was felled onto the line, and its weight caused the ceramic insulators attached to the phase conductors to break on two poles. At least one conductor fell onto a parked wood chipper in the vicinity of three workers. One employee was electrocuted, and two employees, who received electric shocks, were hospitalized.
