Investigation Summary
At approximately 10:06 p.m. on April 16, 2008, a crane operator was operating a Mobile Terex Crane, Model Number T340XL, Serial Number 51634, under overhead high voltage powerlines (12KV). The boom of the crane was extended to load K-rails to a flatbed truck while the portable light was off. As the crane operator was backing up the crane, the boom of the crane contacted the overhead powerlines and energized the crane. The crane operator jumped out of the cab and he grabbed a shovel and tried to put out the fire with dirt. The crane operator noticed that the rear section of the crane had also caught fire. The crane operator went to look underneath the crane on his hands and knees. Inadvertently, he made contact with the energized outrigger and collapsed. Employee #1 was also working at the site. After seeing what happened to the crane operator, Employee #1 tried to help him. As Employee #1 tried to drag the crane operator away from underneath the crane, he received a shock and sustained third degree burns and he was hospitalized for 17 days. Employee #2 was also working at the site to hook up the K-rails to the crane. Employee #2 also tried to put out the fire by throwing the dirt on the fire with his foot. Inadvertently he contacted the energized outrigger and received an electric shock and he was hospitalized for two days.
