Employee killed when crushed between two vehicles

On February 13, 1992, three employees of Upper Peninsula Power Co. were to replace five wooden poles.

When the pole was set in place, one employee got into the derrick truck and Employee #1 walked to the rear of the truck to operate the outrigger controls. At this time the bucket truck rolled down the hill and pinned Employee #1 against the derrick truck. He was crushed and killed. Four citations were issued, three of them serious.
