An excavation contractor was pouring concrete along a drainage ditch next to an interstate highway. They had hired a concrete company to supply the concrete for the pour. The driver of the concrete truck parked his pump truck into position to pour the concrete. To reach the ditch, he elevated the boom of the truck over a 7200-volt overhead power line. The boom contacted the power line, and an employee of the excavation contractor was electrocuted. The truck driver received an electric shock and burns.
