Investigation Summary
A power line crew was setting a metal light pole on a breakaway base. They were using a boom truck to position the pole on its base. As they were moving the pole into position, the arm on the pole rotated into a 13-kilovolt overhead power line. The three employees guiding the pole received electric shocks. Two of them were hospitalized for their injuries. A fourth employee, who was operating the boom, was not injured.
