While moving over a vehicle, the employee's head incidentally, contacts a cable wire resulting in a loss of balance. The employee fell from the scaffold 6 to 8 feet, landing head first against a parking block. The employee sustained fractures to his skull, contusions to his heart and lungs and is taken by ambulance to hospital for treatment.
